The Team of a Lifetime

Developing an Exceptional Contractor Team on a Large Capital Project - Roy Haney

Sally Love Episode 61

Roy Haney had an important task in front of him. He needed to form and develop a high performing team with a new client on a large capital project. It had to be done quickly, with limited resources all while ensuring project success.

Roy shares his approach to forming an exceptional team on Project Smoky - a large project with his client Domtar at their Kingsport, Tennessee paper mill.

He also shares:

  • His approach to helping his team members take on expanded roles and perform at such a high level that his team was awarded additional scope
  • How he overcame the challenges his team encountered - especially around worker density
  • How he moved his desk right next to a team member to provide the encouragement and support needed 
  • What he discovered about himself through this project experience
  • How the big green table helped stakeholders stay aligned and solve problems by collaborating

Roy never underestimated the potential of his team, which is a core tenant of a terrific leader.
