Influence, I’ve learned, travels on the backs of lifted people, not the shoulders of titles. When you place the spotlight on someone else’s potential, it bounces back brighter than any spotlight you could claim for yourself. That shift from me to we turns a manager into a mentor and a mentor into a multiplier.

Empowerment starts with belief. You call out hidden strengths, hand over responsibility, then stay close enough to cheer yet far enough to let ownership take root. People grow inside that gap. They experiment, stumble, recover, and suddenly possess victories no boss could have ordered on a whiteboard. Their confidence becomes your organization’s new ceiling.

Today, choose one teammate and ask, “Where do you want to lead?” Listen fully; supply a resource, a connection, or simply your public endorsement. Step back and watch momentum compound. Remember, a rising tide doesn’t threaten the lighthouse; it proves the beacon works. The more leaders you lift, the lighter tomorrow’s challenges will feel.

Spot hidden talent, grant responsibility, cheer progress loudly, and watch exponential confidence ignite collective achievement.

Contractors hungry for faster, cleaner paperwork are leaning on GoCanvas, a mobile forms and workflow platform built for field reliability. The company highlights average annual time savings of $52,000 per customer, a 34% productivity bump, and 25,000+ daily users with a 97% satisfaction score, evidence that ditching clipboards pays dividends across jobsites and offices.

Beyond digitizing inspections, GoCanvas bakes in dispatch and scheduling, image and video capture, project management, and multi‑person workflows with e‑signatures. Auto‑fill, calculations, and if/then logic slash repetitive entry, while offline access keeps crews moving. GPS tracking and barcode scanning speed fleet, tool, and inventory checks from laydown yards to rooftop punch lists.

On the back end, integrations connect field data to systems, and built‑in analytics surface trends, segment results, and flag compliance issues before they become citations. Construction teams centralize templates, share forms and documentation, and standardize closeout reports, gaining consistent records and faster handoffs without code or custom builds. That’s practical digitization contractors can roll out today.

Excavators glinted under a coastal sunrise Monday as Energy Secretary Granholm joined governors and refinery chiefs near Texas City to shove blue‑tipped shovels, launching the HyLink Gulf Coast hydrogen backbone. The 240‑mile, 42‑inch line will shuttle clean hydrogen from solar‑electrolyzer farms in West Texas to petrochemical hubs stretching from Freeport to Port Arthur.

Design‑build consortium Kiewit‑Burns & McDonnell will directionally drill beneath five marshes, retrofit former natural‑gas rights‑of‑way, and erect a 60‑megawatt compressor station powered by onsite wind turbines. Autonomous welding crawlers promise faster joints, while fiber sensors inside the pipe transmit real‑time leak data to a new Houston control center.

Financing combines a $900 million Department of Energy loan guarantee, private equity from six refineries, and hydrogen tax‑credit monetization through transfer sales closed Friday. Labor agreements secure 1,700 union jobs, reserving forty percent for veterans and local community‑college graduates. When operational in 2029, HyLink will cut Gulf Coast carbon emissions by twelve million tons and support the growth of hydrogen‑fuelled shipping at Galveston.

Mississippi’s Building Code Council on Tuesday added recycled denim insulation to the state residential code, approving it as a prescriptive alternative to fiberglass batts in one‑and two‑family dwellings effective August 8. The move comes amid record cotton‑mill waste piles and rising mold complaints after humid Gulf summers.

Jackson builder Magnolia Homes installed the blue batts Wednesday in a 2,100‑square‑foot ranch, finishing walls and attic forty minutes faster than usual because pieces press‑fit without staples or masks. University of Mississippi engineers recorded surface temperatures three degrees warmer during a 96‑degree afternoon and sound levels seven decibels lower under thunderstorm rain.

State economists say the denim adds six hundred dollars in materials yet saves nine hundred over ten years on energy and landfill fees, turning cash‑positive before closing, even without the new fifty‑cent‑per‑pound textile recycling credit. Regions Bank will grant quarter‑point mortgage discounts, while Farm Bureau Insurance offers five‑percent premium cuts after tests showed smolder endpoints sixty percent slower than fiberglass in fire chamber trials.

Introduction
Good morning, Team! Today’s toolbox talk covers traffic‑control flagger safety. Flaggers stand between fast‑moving vehicles and our work zone—any mistake can be fatal.

Why It Matters
Flaggers are struck more than any other roadway worker category. Explicit signaling and proper positioning protect both motorists and crew.
