6) បត់បែន & វប្បធម៌ក្រុម (Adaptability & Culture)_ from Team Leadership with The 48 Laws of Power

Build a culture that changes fast without breaking quality: clear norms, short feedback loops, visible learning.

Theme Culture • Learning • Change Use Site + Office Leadership Outcome Faster response • Fewer shocks • Stronger trust

Adaptability ≠ chaos. It’s disciplined flexibility: we sense change early, decide quickly, and act in a way that protects Safety • Quality • On-Time.

1) Why Adaptability matters (ហេតុអ្វីសំខាន់)

Real world shifts

  • Material delays • weather • design revisions.
  • Permits/inspections move dates.

Resilience

  • Teams recover faster; less downtime.
  • Trust grows when change is handled calmly.

Quality guard

  • Standards don’t drop while plans shift.
  • Rework ↓ because decisions are explicit.

2) Cultural Pillars (សសរគោលវប្បធម៌)

Clarity First

  • One source of truth (drawings Rev, board status).
  • Write decisions: who/what/when/impact.

Short Loops

  • Daily 10:15; end-day walk; weekly reset.
  • Small experiments before big commitments.

Ownership

  • One owner per task; visible on the board.
  • Escalation ladder for blockers (< 24–48h).

Respect

  • Safety non-negotiable; speak up welcome.
  • Praise in public; coach in private.

3) Visible Behaviors (អ្វីដែលឃើញរាល់ថ្ងៃ)

When plans change

  • Say the impact in S/Q/T terms.
  • Update board + notify affected trades.

When stuck

  • Run the 7-minute unstick (see Fresh Thinking).
  • Propose a ≤ 1-hour test before debating.

When quality dips

  • Stop • Tag • Fix • Learn (photo + checklist).
  • Share the lesson in stand-up.

4) Rituals & Cadence (ពិធីការរហ័ស)

Daily

  • Stand-Up 10:15: Goal • Blocker • Help.
  • End-day walk: photo log • defects tag • % complete.

Weekly

  • Reset Top-3 priorities; tune look-ahead 2 weeks.
  • Retro: 1 keep • 1 stop • 1 start.
Leadership cue: Model calm, write decisions, and celebrate fast learning—not just outcomes.

5) Change Management (គ្រប់គ្រងការកែប្រែ)

Lightweight process

  1. Name the change (1 sentence) + why now.
  2. State impact: Cost • Time • Quality.
  3. Approve (who signs) → update drawings/schedule.

Guardrails

  • No build without paper (CO or written decision).
  • Use latest Rev only; archive old files.
  • If impact ≥ 2 days → notify client same day.

6) Hiring & Onboarding (ជ្រើសរើស & បណ្តុះបណ្តា)

Hire for mindset

  • Evidence of learning fast in past roles.
  • Asks clarifying questions; shows initiative.

Onboard to culture

  • Teach S/Q/T creed; show the boards and cadence.
  • Shadow a stand-up • end-day walk • change note.

7) Culture KPIs (វាស់វែងវប្បធម៌បត់បែន)

Blocker Age (avg)
≤ 2 days
Change Response Time
request → written decision ≤ 48h
First-Time Pass
inspections ≥ 90%
Carryover Top-3
≤ 1 item/week
Near-miss Reports
↑ reporting, ↓ incidents
Retro Actions Closed
≥ 80% by next retro

8) Anti-patterns (កុំធ្វើ)

  • “Move fast” without updating drawings/boards.
  • Hiding problems to “not bother” the client.
  • Blame instead of a 1-hour test to learn.
  • Letting urgency cancel safety/quality standards.
Fix: Slow down to write; show impact; run a small test; escalate early.
