Career momentum can be a trap. The very habits that earned promotions, quick answers, relentless drive, and rescuing projects can start to bruise colleagues, stifle initiative, and cap growth. Success seduces us into defending yesterday’s playbook. Advancement requires subtraction: identify the behaviors that once signaled value and now generate friction, then replace them with disciplined restraint. Awareness precedes intentional change. Always.

Use feedforward, not feedback. Ask stakeholders, “What’s one behavior that, if improved, would make me more effective with you?” Say thank you, don’t argue, and select one or two items to stop interrupting, adding too much value, and winning every debate. Create a daily checklist, enlist a coach, and schedule weekly follow‑ups.

Measure progress the way athletes do: visible scorekeeping and relentless repetition. Share monthly results with those who offered advice and ask, “Have you noticed a change?” Close the loop by acknowledging lapses, recommitting, and repeating the cycle. Legacy follows behavior. The next level doesn’t need a louder you; it requires a better you.

Ask three stakeholders for feedback, choose one behavior to stop, track daily, and follow up weekly consistently.

Crews closed Tahoe City’s Fanny Bridge today, starting a 12‑week demolition to clear a Truckee River choke point before winter. Traffic detours to the 2019 State Route 89 Bypass; pedestrians use the Lake Tahoe Dam walkway as a temporary route. Officials say the closure runs from August 11 to November 3. All Tahoe City businesses remain open during construction.

Advance work finished in June: culverts now divert flow around piers, a temporary sewer bypass spans the water, and precast elements were fabricated off‑site to speed installation. Diversion culverts connect to the dam gates. Fisheries crews are relocating trout before dewatering, allowing pier and footing removal.

The replacement is a single‑span with no in‑river supports, plus sidewalks, bike lanes, and a rail echoing the historic look. A south‑side crossing gains accessible push‑button signals, and another is planned on the north side later. FHWA’s Central Federal Lands leads design and construction with Thompson Builders, partnering with Placer County, Caltrans, the Tahoe Transportation District, TRPA, and the utility district.

Washington moved a longtime manufactured-housing dream closer to reality this week: freeing HUD-code homes from their welded trailer frames. Business Insider reported that the Senate Banking Committee’s bipartisan ROAD to Housing package, which advanced unanimously, includes language to end the permanent steel chassis mandate, a change analysts say could shave roughly $10,000 per home.

Section-by-section text confirms the update, redefining manufactured housing to allow factory-built units not on a permanent chassis, opening the door to multi-story designs and easier financing alongside modular production lines already in place. Factory executives say it would cut waste steel, widen floor plans, and expand infill sites that currently exclude “mobile” frames.

Policy groups and advocates on both sides immediately lined up: NLIHC highlighted fresh bipartisan sponsors, while Vox noted the rule’s five-word deletion could be the rare reform that lowers costs without new spending. Next up: a full Senate vote and House action before factories retool for off-chassis prototypes as early as this fall, pending floor time.

Introduction
Good morning, Team! Today’s toolbox talk is about telehandler safety. These machines lift heavy loads high and far, which is excellent for productivity, but risky if misused.

Why It Matters
Tip‑overs, dropped loads, and blind‑spot strikes are common telehandler incidents. One bad move can injure people and wreck materials in seconds.

Strategies for Safe Operation

Discussion Questions

Conclusion
Telehandler safety hinges on capacity control, ground awareness, stable travel, and clear communication. Follow the chart, use a spotter, and keep the boom low.

Lift smart, stay upright!
