Turner Industries CEO Stephen Toups shares his insights for leading through change on the next episode of Strictly Business

    Few sectors are experiencing as much change as heavy industry and industrial construction. Digital transformation, AI, offsite modularization, navigating renewable energy, just to name a few.

    What’s the impact on the broader workforce right now? What are some common pitfalls leaders should avoid when leading through change? And what’s the best way to address and manage resistance within an organization?
