Dr. William Hayden Jr. joins us to explain why 60% of engineering projects don’t meet goals—and why it has nothing to do with technical ability. Drawing on global consulting work and a sharp eye for systems thinking, he shares stories from inside the AEC industry, his personal encounters with Dr. Deming, and why young professionals often walk out the door without saying a word.

This episode dives deep into the cultural, educational, and structural cracks in the profession—and offers a path forward rooted in leadership, psychological safety, and truth-telling.
