Positive Mindset, Authenticity and Leading Diverse Teams in Construction with Vincent Saunders

The hardest part of any job isn’t the paperwork. Often, it’s managing different roles and people and figuring out how to lead well across diverse sites.

Vincent Saunders has 17-plus years of experience across buildings, quantity surveying, and construction management, and hosts the Constructing Mindsets podcast. He brings a solutions-focused view to the people-challenges that don’t show up on paper.

In this conversation, we get into:

• How to communicate with very different people toward one goal

• Why authenticity is one of the most underrated skills on site
