He was 2,400 feet in the air when the anchor blew. And for 17 years, he blamed his climbing partner. In this week's Capacity Chat with Matt, Manley breaks down what it really means to anchor your actions in accountability. Not because someone gave you the title. Not because it's your official role. Because we are all accountable to the people next to us.

What if one small bracket could remove an entire category of human error from the job? PAR West asked the same question. Then they built the answer. Hitch Sense: the 2025 CEO Innovation Award winner. This is what safety culture looks like when the people doing the work are the ones solving the problem. See more: https://lnkd.in/gzT72nT6

He retired from NASA and joined Quanta the next day. That is Shane Kimbrough, our VP of Strategic Operations. Before this, he was a NASA astronaut who lived aboard the International Space Station, where the earth passes below you every ninety minutes and helping your kids with their homework means emailing them from orbit. Before that, he flew Apache helicopters. He grew up a military kid, moving frequently, learning early what it means to adapt, show up, and build trust fast in environments that do not give you time to ease in. Three careers. All of them in environments where the margin for error is zero. And the principles he carries across all three are almost identical. When Jason Kaprelian of our Talent Development team sat down with him for our latest PWR Talk, what came through most was not the credentials. It was the clarity. On leading teams under pressure. On building a culture that holds. On why, after everything, he chose Quanta. His answer on the culture here: a massive company that still operates like a family. An expectation to work hard built into the floor, not posted on a wall. That is what stood out immediately. What career transition taught you the most about leadership?

Most of the country talks about veterans transitioning into the trades. We talk about it too. But this weekend is not about career transitions. It is about the ones who never got to make one. Memorial Day belongs to the families with an empty seat at the table. To the parents, spouses, and children of service members who left and did not come back. The weekend is for them. There is a quieter truth that runs through this industry. A meaningful share of the people who build and maintain America's infrastructure once wore a uniform. Across Quanta's 300+ operating companies, you will find linemen, welders, foremen, and project managers who served before they ever climbed a pole or laid pipe. The values carry over almost intact. Show up early. Do the hard thing. Stand by the person next to you. Finish what you started. Those values built our military. They build modern infrastructure. They get a crew home safely at the end of every shift. But not every service member got to come home and put those values to work somewhere new. Some of the names we should know are on walls instead of crew rosters. So this weekend, we remember the ones who gave everything. We are grateful to the Gold Star families who carry that loss every day. And to every veteran on a Quanta crew: thank you. For what you did then. For what you do now. For continuing to serve a country that needs you.

Stop chasing the behavior. Start challenging the belief. In this week's Capacity Chat, Matt Compher, CHST, OHST, CUSP sits down with Manley Feinberg II, CSP inberg, author, keynote speaker, and world-class climber, to break down one of the most important shifts a safety professional can make. Manley learned it 500 feet off the ground in 1999, and it took him until 2014 to fully understand it. You can get compliance. But compliance isn't commitment. If you want to change how someone works, have the harder conversation. That's where culture actually changes. #thecapacitymodel
