Title: Building Bridges with Jazz: Lessons for Construction Project Managers
Dear Toll International community,
As we celebrate Jazz History Month, it is important to recognize the lessons that jazz music can teach us about leadership and collaboration. Jazz is a uniquely American art form that relies on shared leadership, collaboration, improvisation, and humility. In the world of construction project management, these same qualities are essential for success.
Jazz musicians work together to create something beautiful, much like the way construction project managers must work with their teams to create a successful project. By embracing the improvisational spirit, collaborating closely with team members, paying close attention to detail, constantly practicing and learning, and striving for excellence, construction project managers can become even better at their jobs and achieve even greater success.
To help illustrate these lessons, we have drawn upon two previous articles: "How Jazz Music Can Inspire Construction Project Managers in New York City" and "Leadership Lessons from Jazz: Inspiring Construction Project Managers in New York City." Both articles highlight the importance of collaboration, improvisation, active listening, humility, and the pursuit of excellence in construction project management.

If we had to choose one song to represent the lessons of jazz in construction project management, it would be "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck. The song's complex rhythms and harmonies require the musicians to listen to one another and work together to create something beautiful.
Let us embrace the lessons of jazz as we work together to build bridges, both literal and figurative. By incorporating these lessons into our work as construction project managers, we can create something truly remarkable.
