A strong relationship with one’s workforce leads to increased productivity and improved results. When leaders have a good understanding of their employees and when employees have a good knowledge of their bosses, there are very few problems, and businesses become better places to work.

And that’s what Ms. Christine Yerkes, Certified General Contractor and CEO of Yerkes South Inc., did to build a team of trustworthy and loyal skilled individuals. Christine is our second guest in Season 03, Episode 02 here in Thriving in Construction, The Podcast.

Although she had been on active duty in the Navy for more than 14 years and on reserve duty for seven years, Christine stays humble and considers courage as not the absence of fear but moving forward in the face of fear.

“Somebody once told me a long time ago; Brave people are always terrified it’s moving forward in the face of fear.”
