Ep. 20: Building a generational company w/ Marcus Gores Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

How many times have you heard..."I don't want to train them because they're just going to leave."

There's some truth here. You don't have a workforce forever.

Marcus Gores thinks about building a construction company differently than most...

Some folks may want to stay with Gores Construction forever, great, they will be trained.

Some folks may want to learn skills to start their own business, great, they will be trained. And even better...they may become future subcontractors.

Building a generational company is a commitment to people and having a long-term mindset.
