#124 The Former Marine Teaching Construction Companies How Leadership Actually Gets Built With Wally Adamchik

Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast!

Today, we’re sitting down with Wally Adamchik, a leadership speaker, coach, author, and consultant who works closely with construction and infrastructure companies on the people side of the business.

He grew up around construction, spent ten years in the Marine Corps, and now helps leadership teams develop the skills they’re rarely taught but constantly expected to have when the pressure’s on.

A big part of this conversation is about how leadership actually gets learned in construction. Most people are promoted because they’re good at the work, then expected to figure everything else out as they go.

Wally’s big on the idea that leadership isn’t about having all the answers. We talked about why middle management is the real leverage point in construction, the impact of ego and burnout on teams, and why investing in people is no longer optional if you want a sustainable business.

We also covered Wally’s time as the University of Notre Dame’s mascot… and it’s exactly as entertaining as you’d expect.
