Inspection of public works projects, during the construction phase, is a key element to ensure that the new facility or installation complies with the approved plans and specifications. Therefore, it is paramount that inspectors be well versed and fully understand the importance of their duties and the overall essentials of construction inspection. Projects, whether large or small, require similar basic tasks and parallel duties to be performed. However, inspection of public works construction has additional requirements that are generally not required when constructing private and industrial projects. This in turn, places a greater burden on inspectors involved in monitoring construction of governmental facilities.

Public works management requires a balance of two essential components: technical expertise and leadership skills—neither of which are adequately covered in a traditional classroom. In Public Works Management: Things They Never Taught in School, Jim Nichols goes beyond the blackboard as he shares his more than 17 years in local government executive management. Nichols unpacks the critical soft skills necessary for exceptional leadership, addressing key issues that managers face at all levels of experience. From workplace culture and employee performance to external communications and public perception, Nichols lays the groundwork to help managers navigate roadblocks and, ultimately, achieve their organizational (and even personal) goals.
