Practice Leadership
This chapter discusses how the reflective nature of the design process needs to become a conscious and active part of practice in order to address the changing nature of the professional context. Leaders are responsible for adapting to business and management influences in order to achieve success in contemporary practice by being openly and passionately invested in the firm and authentically supporting its mission and vision. Personal investment in the firm, the development of emotional intelligence skills, and a sincere interest in team members are key to an employee's advancement, as is a continued commitment to development and engagement in the firm and in the professional community. Architecture firms are beginning to catch up to other businesses with the development and implementation of in‐house leadership training programs. The chapter also presents an interview with Z Smith, Ph.D., AIA, LEED Fellow on sustainability, resilience, community engagement, healthy environments, and holistic site design.
