How To Achieve High Performance in your Construction Co

Great show, with advice that is pertinent to any company, not just construction.

Episode 128: Timely topic with good insight into how we should be moving forward if as a country we’re to stay relevant. I’m always impressed with the quality of the interviews on this site; intelligent, probing but never confrontational. Such a refreshing change.
