They provide the infrastructure for nearly all of our interactions, and that means they should be designed purposefully. Development is art, according to Lisa Picard of Skanska, a multinational development and construction company. And art requires creativity and curiosity, both skills that she believes are absolutely necessary for all trying to succeed in an “intellectual economy.” Lisa’s path to her current position as executive vice president was by no means clear-cut. Her curiosity and drive led her to two master’s degrees, as well as a number of careers before landing in development. In this episode, Lisa discusses her personal career development, the importance of curiosity, creativity and wonder in all careers, how she works with her team to develop empathy and why it’s important, how knowledge of finance equips you to do what you want to do, the value of humility and openly talking about limitations, and why getting fired can be a great experience.
