Late yesterday afternoon, I received an email from my friend Bob Borson of Life of an Architect. His message was a challenge to all architect bloggers on the internet. Bob challenged us to coordinate a series of blog posts, (and this podcast episode) all to be published on the same day and answering the same 11 questions.
Please review this podcast on iTunes.
Here are the 11 questions Bob presented to the group:
- What kind of projects were you doing when you first started as an architect?
- How many projects can you expect to be working on at once?
- How often do you work in a team?
- How important is an innovative mind to the company?
- What key things do you look for in potential new hires?
- How important is diversity to your company?
- How big of a role does HR play in your company?
- Would you say architecture is a field for everyone?
- What is the best asset in your company?
- Describe your best employee in one word?
- What style architecture do you love most?
I recorded this episode without notes and without preparation. My answers are candid and honest. I would love to have a discussion about these questions in the comments section below. How would YOU answer these questions? Do you disagree with any of my responses? Let’s talk.
