A recent blog by our friend Arlin jump-started Wayne’s brain back to his second-to-last book published in 2009 The Eight Building Blocks for Creating a SUSTAINABLE Closely Held Company https://www.amazon.com/Building-Creating-SUSTAINABLE-Closely-Company/dp/0965319334 in which he outlined the top 10 roles for construction executives. 13 years later, what might need to change among those top 10 roles?
Please tune in this week as Wayne reviews the roles, considers a few potential revisions, and asks for your help pinpointing things he and Arlin may have missed. Please share with us in the comments section.

Great stuff Wayne! As always, thanks for sharing!
Many relevant points Wayne!! The major difference between now and 2009 though is that we had an ample workforce with no opportunities in 2009 and exactly the opposite now with an over abundance of opportunities with NO WORKFORCE…
Regardless, the CEO/Presidents now need to deal with a different set of challenges, but it all begins now with communicating/expressing/living the values you speak of to the remaining workforce, while trying to recruit and promote our industry as a GREAT CAREER CHOICE to those who may be on the fence about migrating towards the construction industry.
Agreed, Danny. Thanks.
You’re welcome!
