Episode 080 - Stephen Slessor

Another quality guest from "across the pond" as they say. Stephen "Steve" Slessor is an absolute rock star and one of our new favorite people! He is the Managing Director at Galliford Try Environment and President of Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors. Steve provided an enlightening perspective on all of the great things land surveyors are doing in the UK as well as the challenges they are currently facing. Oddly enough, those challenge are very consistent with the things we struggle with as a profession here in the states. Steve sums it up best by saying “One of the key lessons I have learned is that working collaboratively is at the heart of any successful project or business. I firmly believe in driving the right behaviors and relationships, to enable effective communication between project teams, clients and the supply chain, to deliver projects to the highest standards.” We all can learn a lot from Mr. Slessor. Other topics covered include Legos, football (soccer) and a trip to Mars. Music for this episode by Deacon Blue!
