"I am the boss, because of that I am the one that know everything in my field...I dont have to learn from anyone else..." This phrase is a pitfall for everybody that always think that they are master in their field. However as times goes on, things are continously change. They way it works..eg. years back construction industries rely heavily in the usage of menpower.. nowadays, slowly the role of men being replace by machineries, sortwares even the building component now can be readily purchase from the manufacturer and installed on site. This is what we call transformation of the construction industries.




Because of this we need to be prerare ourselves by reading books, attending talks, convention, courses and so many more. If as the owner you do not have much time to do all this...one of the ways is invest in your readily aviable staff that will later on pass the knowledge to the other staff in you office. Don be to stingy...cause you can afford to lose in a long run.





If you don't have time in the day...why not learning through books that are related to you field.
