An architect by training and a collaborator by instinct, Brad Pollitt was handed the challenge of his career: In four years or less, bring together 150 independent contractors—bricklayers to mechanical engineers—to build a $400 million state-of-the-art hospital for UF Health Shands, a private nonprofit providing clinical care and teaching facilities for University of Florida Health. As vice president of facilities and development, Pollitt knew if he was going to bring this behemoth project in on time and on budget his first priority had to be on building a high-performing team—one that trusted one another, shared risk, communicated effectively, and had a solid commitment to collaborate.
