How to achieve this goal?Through the Great Boss Management Programme.Skanska carries out business in eachof its Units, honouring high qualityand safety standards, with evermorechallenging goals –Five Zeros- andan ever-present disposition to excellencethat fosters tenacity and a winning mindset.The Great Boss’s role is fundamentalto get far along this road, which calls for agreat amount of commitment and professionalism.Firstly, it is vital to make sure one accountsfor the right team to work with:the right people at the right place.
