Engagement Is Everything with Gafcon's Marty Glaske

Author Seth Godin said “Leaders create a CULTURE around their goal and involve others in that culture.” 

In this episode, Senior Vice President of Client Development Marty Glaske of Gafcon Inc., takes "culture building" with their employees and clients to a whole new level, which explains why they are one of the most successful construction management firms in California with projects worldwide.
