Utility Supply and Construction Company’s Post

After 40 years of working on the road, I secured a job three hours away from my children and grandchildren. This is a significant phase in my life. ARCO Murray in Downers Grove, IL, will be greatly missed. I have many positive things to say about this company. They treated me like a family member and did not micromanage their Superintendents, unlike many companies today. While not all companies are like this, many smaller companies tend to hire Directors of Field Operations with little practical experience, who often arrive on-site expecting to find mistakes. This is one of the reasons I speak so highly of ARCO Murray. Their executives call ahead before visiting a site to ensure availability. Few companies operate this way anymore, and if you find one, it is advisable to stay. Over the past 40 years, I have witnessed significant changes in the industry, some positive but many negative. My advice to younger Superintendents is to thoroughly evaluate a company, just as they evaluate you. If a company has a high turnover rate, it is best to avoid it, as you may come to regret it.

👋 Welcome Pedro Espinet, AIA, NCARB! Pedro joins us as a Principal in our Los Angeles office, bringing 7 years of experience in architecture and a passion for building strong client relationships. He's dedicated to helping clients achieve their goals through effective communication, collaboration and strategic planning. In addition to his technical expertise, Pedro is known for his ability to distill complex ideas into actionable plans. His colleagues describe him as the teammate they can always rely on to tackle issues and get things done. 💭 Best advice Pedro has ever received: "It actually came from Christopher Huckabee to 'Be the Buffalo', relating to the allegory of the cow and the buffalo. The moral of the story is to run straight at your problems and face them head-on like a buffalo; because if you turn away and run, problems have a tendency to compound. Through this approach, I was able to gain more experience and exposure that would then be a catalyst for my development." Don't know the metaphor? Check the comments below ⬇️

Stratford Group excels in crafting and implementing strategic plans that drive growth and adaptability. We believe that a well-thought-out strategic plan is the blueprint for success. Our collaborative approach with clients ensures that every strategic initiative is a move towards realizing that 'Better is Possible'. Here's what Kevin Ford, CEO of Calian, had to say about our Strategic Planning & Implementation services: "Everything I’ve asked, they’ve been able to bring to the table with a very capable skillset. That was not an insignificant demonstration of the trust I have in Stratford, to get ‘inside the tent’ with my executive team. Even in our internal meetings, Jim and Colleen always refer to Calian as ‘we.’ And it’s not lost on me that that is an important element of the Stratford way. It’s not a bunch of consultants that are there to give you advice and then go packing." For more on how we can help you, click here: https://lnkd.in/ep2duRrt
