The groundbreaking guide to modern leadership in architectural
practice Leading Collaborative Architectural Practice is the
leadership handbook for today's design and construction
professionals. Endorsed by the American Institute of Architects,
this book describes the collaborative approach to leadership that
is becoming increasingly prevalent in modern practice; gone are the
days of authoritative "star" architects today's practice is a
brand, and requires the full input of every member of the team.
This book builds off of a two-year AIA research project to provide
a blueprint for effective leadership: the ability, awareness, and
commitment to lead project teams who work together to accomplish
the project's goals. Both group and individual hands-on exercises
help facilitate implementation, and extensive case studies show how
these techniques have helped real-world firms build exemplary
success through collaborative teamwork and leadership. Highly
illustrated and accessible, this approach is presented from the
practicing architect's point of view but the universal principles
and time-tested methods also provide clear guidance for owners,
contractors, engineers, project managers, and students. * Build a
culture of collaboration, commitment, and interpersonal awareness *
Adopt effective leadership techniques at the team, project, or
practice level * Handle conflict and resolve communication issues
using tested approaches * Learn how real-world projects use
effective leadership to drive success The last decade has seen a
sea-change in architectural leadership. New practices no longer
adopt the name and identity of a single person, but create their
own identity that represents the collaborative work of the entire
group. Shifts in technology and changing workplace norms have made
top-down management structures irrelevant, so what does it now mean
to lead? Forefront presents effective contemporary leadership in
the architectural practice, and real-world guidance on everyday
implementation.
