title: Managing successful construction and renovation projects.
abstract: If you are the lead person during a project, it is your responsibility to follow-up on every detail and task involved to guarantee overall success. Team members look to you as the example and as the communicator. Although other people may fail to accomplish their tasks, you must have the ability and energy to push the issue to completion without losing your cool or throwing your hands up. Projects usually require the coordination of multiple issues, tasks, and personnel. The process can be rewarding, or it can be your worst nightmare. Make it fun, but keep it organized. Communicate properly, and design each project process to fit the project needs.
