  • #50 Quality of Young Engineers

    Young Engineers are the basis of our firm. When we don't train them properly, we won't have a next generation. Meaning that the longevity of clients and those continuing relationships will dwindle. We also have to remember what it's like for a young engineer and how much they have to learn in a short period of time. Helping them along the way and not throwing everything at them immediately will allow them to grow at a good pace and still help you get done what you need to.

    There are two sides to every coin and these are no different. There are nuances in everything and how you approach them completely matters. In this episode, Dillon talks about meetings, when and where to have them as well as marketing tactics in landing clients. 


    Personal matters, but so does time and efficiency and doing the right thing. Remember to think of the other person too in these interactions.
