Stephen Bauld's latest Procurement Perspectives column looks at the stress of leadership in construction.
August 30, 2022
Leadership in the construction industry is generally perceived as stressful and thus the ability to handle stress is therefore relevant to both the selection of a leader and the decision by an individual as to whether to seek or accept a leadership role. Thus, even for those leaders of construction companies during these difficult times, who are able to handle a good deal of stress, they must eventually master some method for releasing the pressure that it builds.
Leaders are most required in critical situations, which means demands for leadership are likely to coincide with times of greatest stress. There is no benefit in appointing a person to a leadership position if that person will buckle under the first strains that arise on encountering a problem. Perhaps in no other setting is this need so clearly brought home as with respect to military leaders.
