Leadership matures when your success is measured by how many people you help rise. Growth shifts from personal wins to collective progress. When you invest in others, energy expands, ideas multiply, and trust becomes your operating system. People take bolder swings because they know you stand with them. Your accurate scorecard becomes a capability that remains when you are not in the room.

Turn intent into structure. Map strengths and aspirations, then align work where talent meets mission. Define outcomes, owners, and the definition of done. Create apprentice opportunities, pair rising talent with coaches, and widen decision rights with clear guardrails for time, budget, and quality. Remove friction within a day and make learning visible through brief demos and concise after-action reviews.

Model the standard. Speak last, listen first, give credit widely, and own mistakes immediately. Teach context relentlessly so judgment scales without you. Share customer signals, track leading indicators, and celebrate daily progress. As others grow, your influence compounds. The legacy is a team of leaders who build leaders, turning momentum into results that endure beyond any one person.

Over ninety days, coach two teammates, delegate decisions, celebrate wins publicly, remove blockers daily, and document playbooks to sustain performance.

Great cities and quiet towns run on skilled hands and clear purpose. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers brings electrical professionals together to secure safe jobs, fair pay, and a respected voice at work. By uniting craft, character, and community, IBEW strengthens families and ensures the power we depend on is delivered by people who are trained, protected, and proud.

IBEW invests in lifelong learning. Through rigorous apprenticeship, ongoing training, and a Code of Excellence, members master evolving technologies while honoring proven practices. Safety is not a slogan; it is a system of planning, communication, and care. That discipline turns risk into readiness, elevates quality on every task, and sends every worker home safe.

Together, members build opportunities for the next generation. IBEW strengthens the middle class, champions inclusion, and partners with employers to deliver projects on time and to specification. From grid modernization to clean energy, the union helps communities embrace the future with confidence. When people stand together and keep learning, they do more than power buildings. They have the power possibility.

IBEW champions safety, training, and solidarity, lifting electrical professionals while powering communities with dignity, opportunity, and excellence every single day.

This week in Phoenix, ADOT will shift traffic on I-10 between I-17 and US-60 into new collector-distributor lanes as crews restripe and open ramps. Expect overnight closures to reconfigure barriers, install signs, and calibrate detectors. The shift separates local and through movements, easing weaving and increasing the length of the fabric.

Collector-distributor roads run parallel to the mainline, gathering traffic from multiple interchanges and redistributing it to exits. They reduce conflict points, improve sight distance, and let the freeway maintain steadier speeds. Engineers coordinate signal timing on ramps, add overhead guide signs, and use cameras for incident response to keep the flow reliable.

Construction sequencing keeps lanes open during the day while cranes, sweepers, and striping crews work at night. After the shift, crews will finish bridge deck joints, final pavement, and landscape restoration. Drivers should follow signs, respect lower speeds, and avoid last-second lane changes while the new configuration stabilizes.

Map the new ramps, allow time, heed overnight closures, merge early, and slow down to help crews activate improvements safely.

This week, the latest September housing starts and building permits arrived, offering a fresh look at supply pipelines. Starts capture groundbreakings that move dirt and mobilize trades. Permits foreshadow near-term starts, while completions add move-in-ready inventory. Together, these series help builders, lenders, and suppliers gauge how much new housing will actually hit markets over the next quarters.

Month-to-month changes can be noisy, so focus on three-month averages and the split between single-family and multifamily. Regional patterns often differ, with some metros constrained by labor or fees while others accelerate. Reading revisions is essential because preliminary estimates are frequently adjusted, subtly reshaping the trend you thought you saw last month.

Put the release to work now. Align future lot releases and spec starts with verified absorption, and recalibrate incentives where traffic softens. Coordinate procurement for long lead items, confirm trade capacity where pipelines are thickening, and document timelines to ensure budgets, schedules, and cash flow align with the pace indicated by permits, starts, and completions.

Average three months of starts and permits, align releases to verified absorption, and update budgets, bids, and labor plans accordingly.

Good morning, Team!

Today, we are covering how to prevent and respond to fires during welding, cutting, grinding, and torch work.

Why It Matters

Sparks and slag can travel far, slip through openings, and smolder out of sight. Small ignition can grow fast, threatening crews, structures, and the schedule.

Strategies for Fire Control

Discussion Questions

Conclusion

Thorough prep, dedicated watch, and ready extinguishers stop fires before they spread.

Permit it, shield it, watch smart!
