Show Notes

In this installment of the 17Twenty podcast, Will Pender joins the guys in the studio.  Will is the new Gulf States President at Adolfson & Peterson Construction, a leading construction management and contracting firms in the U.S founded in 1946.

The guys talk about growing up between Florida and Indiana, his eventual move to Texas (as fast as he could), and his recent transition to Adolfson & Peterson.  They talk about the extended interview process for the job, the roundtable Q&A sessions with  each of the various offices, and how the interview process vets out the Adolfson & Peterson culture.  As Will looks at the "first 100 days" we talk through some observations about the company, how conversations with employees are helping to form the future of Adolfson & Peterson, and the power of the "better if" statements.  These "better if" statements help empower people so that they can be the best that they can be.

In discussing the rise to the Gulf States President at Adolfson & Peterson Construction, Will talks about the "we want Will" mindset he kept as he worked his way up.  This is a great mindset to make sure you're on the forefront of the mind of your clients, whether internal or external to your organization. 

As usual, there are great nuggets of wisdom all throughout this episode as you prepare yourself to win the week.
