Benchmarks of Growth - Part 3 of 6
The DYOJO Podcast, Episode 59

Guest: Tammy Birklid, Merit Construction (Tacoma, WA)

SPONSOR
The DYOJO Podcast is sponsored by Enlightened Restoration Solutions (ERS). Ben Justesen and his team have put together a dynamic live class which reviews real world estimates and elevates your ability to master the methodology of Xactware. Including how to determine your own labor rates, create your own price list, and navigate pricing feedback.

Tammy shares insights into her process of growing in the company, with the company, and now as the leader of her company, Merit Construction in Tacoma, Washington. I found it interesting that her background was in finances and yet she placed a high emphasis on culture. Not that these concepts are exclusive, but in my experience the financial minded person has not always been the driver of those efforts.

Tammy shares so many gems for our series, Benchmarks of Growth, this is part 3 of 6 from The DYOJO Podcast.
  • "Grow in proportion to your ability to maintain your quality and your culture." How many businesses have we observed grow to rapidly and plummet as a result? Tammy shares he vision for sustained growth.
  • Tammy believes strongly that as a person in a position of leadership and as an organization that you should, "Be who you say you are." She talks about what that has meant, as well as how it has both been tested and proven, coming through the challenges of 2020 as a team. 
  • In a market where good employees are harder to acquire and retain than good clients, Tammy challenges companies to, "Be an employer of choice." Tammy shares how the Merit team achieves this and has developed a culture of accountability.
