In this episode of Taking the Con Out of Construction, Michelle Carr shares practical construction business advice for contractors, developers, and project leaders on accountability and team performance.
She gets real about one of the most uncomfortable topics in construction: how finger-pointing and blame culture quietly destroy projects and teams, and why true ownership of responsibilities is critical for project success.
Michelle breaks down practical steps to improve communication, make better decisions, and lead construction projects with confidence — especially when things go wrong.
Through real-life examples, she explains how taking responsibility strengthens leadership, boosts team performance, and protects long-term business outcomes.
She also touches on her mission to support subcontractors, champion women in construction, and help reshape the industry through education, mentorship, and mindset shifts.
This episode is essential listening for anyone frustrated by “not my problem” attitudes and wanting stronger, more accountable construction teams.
