Every construction leader faces the same problem on every project and in every organization. It's not schedule. It's not budget. It's not scope. It's people. In this intro episode, I break down why the construction industry's biggest risk has nothing to do with technical competence — and everything to do with a leadership skills gap we've been ignoring for decades. I share the statistics nobody wants to put on a conference slide, the workforce collision that's already happening, and the question that's driven everything I've done for the past 20 years: how do we fix construction culture before construction culture fixes us? This is The Human Side of Construction Podcast. Episode 1 drops next featuring Geoff Smith, Executive Chair of EllisDon.
