When we visit with contractors and other industry professionals, many ask, “What are you seeing out there?” What we’re seeing is unprecedented: rampant price inflation and supply chain challenges are unrelenting. And, since the construction business is really the PEOPLE BUSINESS, the talent challenges all are facing are maddening. If someone told you five years ago that you’d be the size you are now with the number of people you have now and that you’d be managing the unprecedented challenges of the current environment, you’d have thought them crazy!

Please tune in this week as Dennis outlines why today’s pressures make it uniquely important that you recognize that your job is very different from what it was five years ago and recommends you take a close look at how you manage yourself and the people around you. What adaptations have you made? Please share with us in the comments.
