The idea of a good owner is more than just a philosophical idea or an anecdote. It is the member of the project team, who is intentional, aware, and deliberately behaves with responsibility to create a positive influence and success on the project. Jack Mumma is that owner.
Jack, educated in philosophy and law, is the Executive Director of Construction and Facilities Strategic Acquisitions at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. His unique blend of legal expertise and philosophical insight sheds light on what it truly means to be a "good owner" in the realm of construction projects and beyond.
Jack is guided by a powerful mantra: "Trust More. Expect More Value."—a philosophy that reimagines how we approach collaboration, accountability, and excellence in complex undertakings. Whether you’re managing a construction project, leading a team, or simply striving to bring out the best in others, Jack's perspective will leave you with invaluable lessons on trust, integrity, and achieving meaningful results.
Tune in as Dave Stutzman and Steve Gantner explore Jack's journey, his ideals, and how applying principles of trust and high expectations can transform not just projects, but also relationships and outcomes. Welcome to The Profile of a Good Owner on this episode of Deliberate Words.
