In each week’s vlog, Wayne asks for your thoughts and comments. Some weeks, we get bupkis. Other weeks, we get some thoughtful, well-considered responses.

What are your reactions? Has the micromanagement pendulum swung too far? Please email your comments to wrivers@performanceconstruction.com

We just have a handful of seats available now for our upcoming Contractor Business Boot Camp class. Enrolling your rising high-potential leaders to this program is the best investment you will make towards their leadership future. Give them the opportunity to learn the skills needed in running a successful construction business from industry experts and peers alike. The class starts on May 14th in Raleigh, NC. Contact Charlotte today at ckopp3@performanceconstruction.com to find out more.
