#94 Guiding A Reputable Business Into The Modern Age With Leonardo Dimino
Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast.
Joining the discussion this week is hydraulic engineer and Managing Director of Sparks+Partners Consulting Engineers, Leon Dimino.
Leon takes us through his rise to the top, touching on his time as Woolies youngest ever grocery manager, a terrible week on the tools as a concreter with his dad (he hung up his shovel), and his decision to become an engineer.
But the story didn't end there, as Leon had his sights set on bigger things - eventually buying out founder Garey Sparks from his business Sparks+Partners in 2014.
He talks us through how he revitalised a reputable company struggling to modernise, the way the company uses 'themes' for the year, why he doesn't want to be the smartest person in the room, and some of his tactics for diffusing angry phone calls...
Let's get started.
