Legacy Is Built in People, And Projects: 46 Years of Construction Leadership with Alton Tew

from Construction Genius · host Eric Anderton

What does success look like to your best PM right now? Do you know? Alton Tew spent 46 years in construction — 25 of them building Samet Corporation's multifamily division into a $500 million operation that turned over 3,500 units a year. In this conversation, he shares the leadership principles that drove it: the 90-day check-in that keeps high-potential talent from leaving, how to stay calm when a job site goes sideways, and what his final year looked like as he handed off a 170-person division to the next generation. Simple ideas. Hard to execute. Essential to get right.   📖 Construction Genius: Get it on Amazon 🎓 The Shift: theshift.constructiongenius.com 📅 Work with Eric: 10minuteswitheric.youcanbook.me 🩸 Blood Cancer United: bloodcancerunited.org 🌐 Samet Corporation: sametcorp.com 💼 Alton on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/alton-tew-aab3965a
