Turner Industries’ Post

I love working with boards and leadership teams using The Six Types of Working Genius model. Everyone's genius gets a voice at the table, problems are solved and effective projects get moved to completion. But the best part? Meetings that won't kill you.

Workforce development has never been more important. As we prepare our next generation to enter the construction industry, it’s imperative that we equip them with a firm understanding of the array of opportunities and possibilities that lay before them. From state legislation to associations like AGC of Kansas, the amount of support that they’ve given to post-secondary education has been unprecedented in our state. It’s exciting to see programs like Build Up Kansas take such big strides in Kansas’ workforce development.

Had an amazing visit to Vaughan Company Inc. to visit Stacie Vaughan, and see how things are done on the West Side of Washington. Wagstaff, Inc. is always looking for best practices and partners to find the solution to the #workforce challenge, and the strategies they are following at Vaughan hare time-tested and effective. As I walked through the walls of a100-year old building, and saw the CNCs, welders, and other equipment, it felt just like home...it's how you do things at a family-owned building that has been around for decades. Long-term employees make all the difference. A company who invests in their people knowing that it's about the person - not the product - that makes ALL the difference. That is what #manufacturing is all about. I appreciate forging a relationship with other proactive employers throughout the state and the region as we find ways to drive the workforce initiative. We found in our work with Washington State Department of Commerce this year that when business drives the process, and the supporting efforts of education, government, and supporting agencies get behind a single workforce plan, things work. I am confident that we can find a way across the state for businesses to come together to create this opportunity to make this solution happen to our current workforce challenge. Thanks, again, Stacie!!

“ When DIBs is an initiative in a training course, you've already lost. It's got to be in how you walk the hallway. It's got to be in how you make your decisions. It's got to be in how you sell the company and evolve as a company, 'cause without DIBs you stagnate. So with DIBs you can fly faster and further. “   Just finished the course “Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging”! Check it out: https://lnkd.in/eCGYwuiB

**Fireground Calculation** When I joined the fire service in 1992, we were taught the the art of fireground calculations. Rapid maths to solve immediate problems. With many negative comments below in relation to NFCC Direct Entry, with many extolling the virtues of years of ‘hands on’ or ‘operational’ experience, I thought I would do some quick fireground maths 30 years operational watch manager, all served on 4/4 watch system. That’s 182 shifts per year (182 x 30 x 12) if we average a 12 hour shift. That comes to 65520 hours. If we take off 20 days annual leave that gives us (162 x 30 x 12). That’s now 58320 working hours. As operational activity is approximately 10% of all activity these days, let’s call it 15% as an average, as it has reduced over time. So 30 years =162 x 30 x 12= 58320/100 x 15 = 8748 operational hours 20 years = 162 x 20 x 12= 38830/100 x 15 = 5832 operational hours 10 years = 162 x 10 x 12= 19440/100 x 15 = 2916 operational hours We all know that operational experience is valuable, it it’s also very cyclical often with limited value in terms of true development. Friday night car/skip fires anyone? 🤷♂️ ‘The key to achieving true expertise in any skill is simply a matter of practicing, albeit in the correct way, for at least 10 000 hours.’ - Malcolm Gladwell Gladwell’s 10,000 hours theory is not watertight but some says it has merit, I’m not sure. So when we criticise the (perceived) expertise of others, in this case, direct entrant Station Managers, we need to be cognizant of what our own ‘operational experience’ actually means; what is its true value and how do/did we measure it? I did just short of 20 years service, with 4 of those in a non operational role. I guess that makes me a bit of an amateur….. Sadly there is no fireground equation for quickly working out the effects of diverse talent over time National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC)
