Why Construction Keeps Recycling Failure

from Women Who Don't Apologise · host Patricia Haywood

There’s something that has always bothered me about the construction and project space and today I finally said it out loud.The same project directors.The same “big names.”The same authority figures.And yet… the same failures.Over budget.Behind programme.Full of disputes.So why do they keep getting hired?In this episode, I talk about the uncomfortable truth the industry avoids: how failure gets recycled, how ego replaces outcomes, and how capable people are locked out while the same poor players keep being traded.This isn’t about individuals.It’s about a system that rewards reputation over results.If you’ve ever sat in a boardroom wondering how certain people keep getting the work, this one’s for you.
