Some will point to a business with six or eight good project managers and say, "that's why thiscompany makes money." But someone may also point to the person who is primarily responsiblefor construction operations and say, "this company has those six or eight good project managersbecause of him or her." The same can be said about two or three key estimators, and some willsay the same about the person primarily responsible for getting the work. Successful companiesrelegate responsibility for primary functional areas of their companies to key people.
