When Culture Breaks: The Million Dollar Wake-Up Call

“That Could Never Happen Here…Right?” – A Cautionary Tale of Financial Fraud What if one trusted employee could quietly put your entire company at risk? This week on Construction Hot Takes, Adam Cooper and Jeff Robertson dig into a real-life story that could happen in any construction business. With Greg out on the road, Adam shares a case of financial fraud at a billion-dollar firm, where a regional manager manipulated millions in the books – and nearly brought the whole operation down. Names have been changed, but the lessons are very real. This episode takes a deeper look into accountability, leadership blind spots, and the silent dangers of a culture where no one feels safe to speak up. Adam and Jeff unpack how poor systems, ignored red flags, and a lack of transparency can cost you everything.
