This week Jeff Parsons of DPR Construction joins the 17Twenty team in studio, despite a local ice storm in the D/FW area. It was a great joy to chat with Jeff as we walked through his story, learned lessons from his life, talked through building the future workforce, studied the origin stories of DPR and its deep integration with Jim Collins (Built to Last, Good to Great, etc.), and revisited the must-attend AEC event, DPR's Hoot and Hollar.
There are two fistfuls of wisdom nuggets from this weeks episode; however, one of our favorite things about this week's episode is that we continue to pull forward some of the same things from leaders across different ages, times, industries, backgrounds, etc. People matter. Relationships win. Be kind. Listen first. Embrace curiosity. Practice transparency. Hold the flashlight.
We hope you enjoy this week's episode, can grab a little nugget in there, and keep moving mountains!
