Bill Reiman returns to The Culture Matters Podcast for a conversation about how his leadership, faith, family, and vision have evolved as he takes a larger role in building the future of R.K. Reiman Construction.

A major theme of the conversation is what Bill calls “The Reiman Standard” the expectations around quality, integrity, meticulous detail, client service, and craftsmanship that originated with his father and are now being carried into the next generation.

We also discuss Bill's evolution as a leader. Rather than trying to personally control every aspect of the business, he's increasingly focused on finding great people, giving them responsibility, developing them into leaders, and creating an organization capable of growing beyond him.

Bill also reflects deeply on his father, what he inherited from him, what he wants to preserve, and what he wants to do differently as a father and leader himself.
