About the Show:

In this episode of the podcast, we sit down with Charlie Hager, PE, Civil Engineer. Charlie is a 28-year old Project Manager with LJA Engineering in Austin, TX.  He is extremely observant and knowledgeable about the Design Profession. Yes, he only has a few years under his belt but he inherited it honestly from his Dad who used to take him to Land Development sites as a youngster. The die was cast then and his love for all things Civil Engineering related only grew over time. We had a wide-ranging conversation with Charlie where we discussed the generational differences that exist in most design firms and what is needed to overcome them and make sure that all team members both young and old can speak the same language of achievement and success for their organization. 

Charlie dropped a lot of nuggets of wisdom and advice for the seasoned Design Firm owner that is struggling to connect with his or her younger workforce.  There has never been a better time to communicate more in firms between the different generations represented. We discussed the benefits of engineers and architects learning from each other and the importance of creating an ownership mentality with all employees of a Design firm.   

Listen to this episode to learn what you could be doing differently to represent your generation in a Design Firm or reach the younger generation that is under your command.  It’s not as hard as you think. 

All of this and more on this episode of the Encourage Build Grow Podcast.
