The Construction Leadership Podcast: Executive Strategies to Build Elite Teams & Consistently Deliver On-Time, Under Budget

Are your assumptions about your construction business still valid—or are they silently holding you back from further growth and success?

In today’s episode, we uncover how outdated thinking—even from a wildly successful company like DeBeers, present in both construction and diamond mining—can destroy long-term performance. We explore Peter Drucker’s “Theory of the Business” and to show how your unexamined assumptions about your market, mission, and core strengths could be holding your team back.
