As the only architect in a civil engineer dominated class, in this report, I aim to impart
my learning from what I have absorbed and imbibed from the past discussions we have had.I
hope to convey from an architectural point of view my reflections about this course module. The
topics from this course mostly about the fundamentals of the construction industry. From the
definition of terminologies we will encounter; the nature and importance of the construction
industry; the professionals involved and their relationships with each other; the hierarchy in
management ; the components in management of construction project; the factors for achieving
success and facing challenges and failures, were all tackled and given enough time to discuss
and digest under this module which are useful and essential for us to apply and utilize in our
future projects and professional endeavors.

From the past discussion the topic start about over viewing of the Construction Industry.
Construction Industry is one of the most booming industries in the whole world. This industry is
mainly an urban based one which is concerned with preparation as well as construction of real
estate properties. Construction involving heavy and civil engineering. The construction of large
projects such as bridge, road, etc comes under this category. The construction works that
involve building of real estate ones such as residential or commercial real estate assets, etc.
In general, construction Industry is fragmented Industry where each involved parties has
vested interest. Like owners, they want to be delivered asap in low cost but operates well.
General Contractors they want high profit, quick payment and no hassles. Designer/Engineers
they want to operate well with a high fees with no referred work .Contractors They want high
profit ,quick payment and more work. In this topic help me to realize and accept the nature in
fragmented Industry.
Construction professionals like Architect, Engineers and Contractors has the ability to
interpret plans and specifications and prepared cost estimates and time schedule to meet the
requirements of the owners. And can determine and implement the best to construction
practices, means and methods to satisfy the owner's requirements for time, cost, and quality. As
a professional he or she can oversee and manage all of the construction operations into a
single, safe and coordinate effort. In this topic I have come to realized the role of aspiring
Construction professional is not easy, it is broad and heavy in terms of responsibility.

The Law of the Lid, says " Leadership ability determines a person's level of effectiveness"
Johns' Law of the Lid tells us that the leader's lid, his or her maximum ability to lead will
determine the potential of his team. Let's say the leader is (on a scale of 1 to 10) a 4 as a
leader. The team's potential will never be more than a 3. However if that same as leader can
increase his leadership ability to an 8 or a 9, the potential of the team will raise to a 7 or an 8.
By self- assessment and self-evaluation are the best way to reach the conclusion that
your lid is too low. Other less desirable methods of determining the position of your lid include,
being fired, being demoted.
John's says that leadership can be learned , Yes I agree, for now, that leadership is influence.
The ability to influence people is the result of adding value to them. Anyone can learn to
intentionally add value to others by working our skills as a leader, read books by great leaders,
join leadership group, seeking out exemplary leader around us and ask advice. Leadership is
influence, influence comes from adding value to people, influence is leadership, being a strong
leader is less about taking control and more about generosity and empowerment.

To find a best leader in an organization, just ask the candidates to lead a volunteer and
see how they lead without position or incentives given.
To increase our influence as a leader we just make our self in good character for being
reputable person as well, because true leadership beings in our own. In our inner person that
we had and that the good relationship build with the right people. We cannot hate somebody
and lead them at the same time as a leader. We must have the “power” for being an efficient
and be able to grasp facts, data and information.
Our experiences teach us a lot of things, although past performance does not guarantee as our
future result, our knowledge and experiences, it encourage people for giving a chance to extend
our self to others. Give them such reasons to believe us and trust as a good person as well as a
good leader. Leaders with no followers are not leading.
In this topic I learned how to find the strength, knowledge of a leader. Experiences teach
a lot of things to increase the influence as a leader for being good character.
