In each week’s vlog, Wayne asks for your thoughts and comments. Some weeks, we get bupkis. Other weeks, we get some thoughtful, well-considered responses.

Please tune in this week as Wayne shares three emails from our contractor audience and a thought provoking article forwarded by Chris Manning of Overaa Construction which challenges some of our points in the February vlog about micromanagement. What are your reactions? Has the micromanagement pendulum swung too far? Please email your comments to [email protected]

We just have a handful of seats available now for our upcoming Contractor Business Boot Camp class. Enrolling your rising high-potential leaders to this program is the best investment you will make towards their leadership future. Give them the opportunity to learn the skills needed in running a successful construction business from industry experts and peers alike. The class starts on May 14th in Raleigh, NC. Contact Charlotte today at [email protected] to find out more.
