You can't rely on memory alone in the competitive, litigious construction industry.
My client was bragging about his young project manager's fantastic ability to remember dates and details. "When Tom comes out of a meeting or talks to a client on the phone, every important situation is locked in his brain and you can be sure he'll take care of it. I never met anyone in my entire life with a memory that good.
"He also remembers cost codes, telephone numbers and even the batting averages of every New York Yankee baseball player in the last 20 years. Tom has only been with us for eight months, but he sure has made a good impression. We know we've got a real winner!"
