A few years ago, I had an idea for a little project I could undertake with our People Services team to address some hiring challenges that were bubbling up at the construction company I have the honor of leading, Lease Crutcher Lewis. But the thing about ideas, especially ones that turn out to be good, is that they tend to take on a life of their own. Through this experience, I learned that for such ideas to grow and flourish and deliver value, you have to give them the space, time, authenticity, and energy they demand.

Lease Crutcher Lewis is a 100% Employee-Owned construction company that has existed since 1886. We are committed to making a positive impact for our clients and our communities every day. Employee ownership is a big part of what drives the incredible investment of our entire team in rising to achieve this purpose every day, and our strong culture stands on the foundation of over a century of commitment to excellence, integrity, safety, and positive impact.
