achieved in the autocratic leadership style, where
his primary interaction with his subordinate
happens as he gives them orders. Among managers
who order subordinates, it is a very common style
and it is still used worldwide. The style is used when
leaders tell their workers what they want to do and
how they want it to be accomplished, without their
followers being told (Dolly & Nonyelum, 2018).

The autocratic leaders are less imaginative and only
facilitate one-sided discussion. This severely impacts
the degree of employee motivation and satisfaction.
Autocratic leadership limits socialization and
collaboration in the workplace, which is cordial to
efficient organizational success (Kajeh, 2018). In this
way, the leader’s job only focusing as a guidance for
the workers in order for them to choose the best
ways to achieve their objectives without listening to
others opinion.

PARTICIPATIVE LEADERSHIP

Participative leadership refers to the boss who
allows their subordinates to take on a certain
amount of workplace responsibility (SJ, 2011).
Participative leaders promote subordinate
engagement in the decision-making process
by providing motivation, support and control
(Amabile, Schatzel, Moneta, & Kramer, 2004).
The benefits of this styles are likely improves
the quality of decision, the work quality of the
employees and motivate the employees to
work and also high satisfaction of work done.

Male leaders' work attitudes favour a directive
way of leading with a focus on efficiency, while
female workers, on the other hand, favour a
participatory way of leading with a focus on
the subordinate 's dedication (Werner,
Bagralm, Cunningham, Potgleter, & Viedge,
2007).

TIMELY workers do not have the basic expertise as we do (States, 2020).

The real challenge is trying to be as descriptive as possible by using as
few words as appropriate. In construction communication, being brief
but thorough requires practice. Before sending, correct all written
messages and see if we can modify them without changing the context
or leaving out any vital details (iSqFt, 2020).

Be clear and transparency is an essential element that helps people to
know that what you say is what you mean and that it doesn't let people
know that what you say is what you mean and that you are truthful. Be
sure to balance your words to your acts. This is also to gain trust in your
team and your clients as well (SCHEDULE, 2020).

Keep away from dominating dialogue while engaging with the team. 2.
Offer appreciation where it is appropriate and ensure that feedback can BE TRANSPARENT
be given by the workers. This also leads to new ideas and team building
that is good (SCHEDULE, 2020). AND STAY
POSITIVE
Try not to come across as angry, negative or defensive when dealing
with the team, otherwise they'll more than likely not want to approach us
about important issues.

If we feel that there might be useful ideas for the effective completion of
a project , it is necessary to share the professional opinions on a project.
The experience of the organisation is part of what landed the project, so
be not afraid to speak up.

Project Management of The Future

TECHNOLOGY

Construction has always been driven forward by advancements in technology. Imagine the construction industry
would be like today without technology. Laborers would still be cutting boards and drilling holes by hand without
power tools. They would be excavating sites and digging trenches with shovels and pickaxes without heavy
machinery. Buildings would only be a few storeys tall without the elevator. New construction technologies are
slowly being adopted by many companies. Technology has made it safe and secure for construction sites and more
effective for laborer. It has enabled the laborer to boost productivity, enhance collaboration, and tackle more
complicated projects. They are able to build structures that are stronger, taller, and more energy-efficient.

The industry is being shaped by these new construction technologies in 2020, and the changes made will leave
the industry completely changed. Therefore, there are few types of construction technologies that will impact the
