#128 The Man Behind Construction Genius: Why Most Contractors Were Trained to Build, Not Lead With Eric Anderton
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast!
Today I sat down to have a chat with Eric Anderton. He is the man behind the Construction Genius Podcast and has spent the last two decades helping contractors figure out something most of them were never trained to do: lead people.
Since 2004, he’s worked closely with construction leaders across the US, helping technically skilled builders make the shift from building projects to building teams.
We talked about the difference between hard bid environments and negotiated work, why many contractors believe price is everything, and how mindset often plays a bigger role in winning better projects than strategy alone.
Towards the end, we also dug into where the industry is heading, the next generation entering construction, and why Eric believes the combination of skilled trades and emerging technology is going to create enormous opportunities over the next decade.
If you’re trying to build better leaders inside your company, this is one worth listening to.
