In this advisory segment, the speaker argues that building a business fundamentally means building its people. He stresses the necessity of clear job descriptions and well‑defined competency models for every role. Using sales representatives as an example, he outlines the need to identify core competencies—such as sales and estimating—ensure targeted training, manage performance effectively, and align compensation with those competencies. He then extends the same framework to project management, highlighting specific competencies like kickoff meetings, check‑ins, closeouts, and coordination. The overall message is a practical guide to structuring human capital so that each function operates efficiently and is incentivized correctly.
