-----------------------------------

This week on Own the Build, Paul is joined by Dave Stitt, a leadership team coach with 25+ years of experience working with boards and senior project teams across the UK construction industry.

In this episode, Paul and Dave deep-dive into a subject that every QS, PM, and Director talks about—but few know how to actively build: Trust.

Together, they unpack:

🔍 Why trust is so often missing in project teams
📉 The cost of lip-service collaboration with subcontractors
📈 How QSs and leaders can actually build trustworthy relationships—on-site, in business, and beyond

Dave also shares a practical tool you can use with your team immediately:

This is a punchy and thoughtful episode—packed with real-world leadership insights that will resonate whether you're managing a project team or trying to move up the commercial ladder.
