If you're a project manager or a supervisor in construction, this is for you. So you can have two types of project managers or supervisors. You can have the one type that's really good at delivering the project on site, gets things done, gets the project completed. That's great, that's great. That's only half the job. If you can be a project manager who can deliver on site but also deliver commercially, also deliver the money, also make sure that the variations, change orders, extension times are all approved, all the paperwork is done, contractual letters are written to make sure that your company gets paid for what it's supposed to get paid for, for and get paid in a way that's quick so your cash flow is very strong. That's how you can become an amazing project manager. And to be honest, if you are that type of project manager, you just get promoted out of being a project manager into senior leadership positions in there anyway. So it's definitely worth doing.
