The Harsh Truth About Construction Hiring (And How to Fix It) feat. Martin Preece | Ep. 399
What does great leadership really look like in construction?
In this episode of Construction Secrets, our CEO Raine Gerber sits down with Martin Preece to explore how the construction industry can evolve, not just through projects and profit, but through people.
They discuss:
- Why the biggest challenge isn’t finding talent, but keeping it
- The shift from command-and-control leadership to communication and empathy
- How culture and flexibility attract the next generation of construction professionals
- Why leadership development is the missing piece in most construction businesses
From leadership mindsets to team culture, this episode unpacks what it takes to build companies that people want to be part of, not just work for.
