How to Build a Winning Team by Thinking Like a Baseball Executive


Listen Later

I root for the San Francisco Giants. They are my favorite baseball team. In the past few years, they’ve been struggling, losing more games than winning. This year, that’s started to change. They’ve strengthened their roster, and are on pace to win over 100 games. 

Are you devoting time to evaluate your construction company’s roster strength? Building winning teams starts with Construction CEOs taking the time to ask this simple question, “Do I have the right people in the right seats?” 

In this week’s Construction Genius episode, I talk about how Construction executives can follow the example of the Giants. I emphasize the importance of constantly evaluating the strength of your company’s roster, and I take you through practical steps you can follow when the right person is in the wrong seat. 

If you are committed to building a winning team, listen to this episode.
