My guest for this episode is Chris Doka, President of Wright Construction, one of the largest growing General Contractors in Canada.

Chris shares about the progression of his career at Wright Construction and the strategic way this organization has grown. Chris started with Wright in 2001 as a draftsperson at which time Wright had about 10 staff. Today, Wright has over 270 staff and executes large projects throughout Canada.

In this conversation Chris shares openly about:

• strategic partnerships with other general contractors to participate in large projects
• people focused leadership (ensuring people can build careers with Wright and it is not just a job)
• the unique experience of working alongside his wife at Wright Construction and their approach to managing a two professional career household
• what it means to be the president of a family business 
• the importance of succession planning throughout the organization
