BUSINESS NEWS ROBINS & MORTON RECEIVES NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR’S BUILDING STAR AWARD North Carolina Commissioner of Labor, Cherie Berry, presented Robins & Morton with the Building Star Award for their work in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Building Star Award is part of the North Carolina Department of Labor’s Star program, administered through its Education, Training, and Technical Assistance Bureau of the Occupational Safety and Health Division.

Some requirements include: management commitment and leadership, employee involvement and participation, hazard identification and evaluation, hazard prevention and control, safety and health training. “Because of all of you and the way you work so safe and healthy every single day, you’ve helped North Carolina achieve the lowest illness and injury rate for our workers in the history of the state,” Berry said.

Excellence is of utmost importance for a young engineer. Everything that leaves your desk should be excellent. Also, don’t get knocked off course when you miss that mark. Excellent work is your best reputation builder. Make it your moniker. The top person in any organization is a decision maker. Practice taking advice and making decisions. The world is full of advisors. Observe a room of 10 people. Of those 10, eight are incapable of making decisions, possibly due to fear of responsibility. However, these same eight will surely have an opinion on what should be done. Learn to assess their opinions and make a decision. Early on, your decisions will carry less weight so practice this skill while the price for failure is low. Memorize the following and practice: Proper time allocation; think results; think strengths; think excellence; be decision oriented.
