EP 85: Build What Matters... with Sydne Jacques

What if the most important thing we build in construction isn't the project, but the people building it?In this episode Barb Allen sits down with Sydne Jacques, a licensed civil engineer turned culture and retention expert who has worked with more than 700 construction teams, to talk about why creating strong teams requires the same intentionality we put into building successful projects.Sydne shares the leadership lesson that has stayed with her for more than 30 years and why she believes construction teams need to create "culture by design, not default".They also discuss how small changes in communication can build trust, why creating opportunities for personal connections matters, and how leaders can be more intentional about the impact they have on the people around them. Sydne also shares the inspiration behind her book, Build What Matters, and why the people we build along the way may be our greatest legacy.Build What Matters - Click for FREE copy of the Audio Book!
