Shelby Parsons on job site ethics: the bribe she turned down to someone's face, and the lawsuit her firm was entitled to file and decided to walk away from.
Shelby Parsons, COO and co-owner of Premier Inspection Services, on job site ethics, and the two moments that tested it.
Shelby started working with her dad at 13 and now co-owns an inspection firm, an architecture practice, and a residential investment business. Her work centers on the safe construction of educational and municipal buildings.
In this conversation with Stephen Sakach and Tullio Siragusa:
• Being offered a bribe on site, and saying no to someone's face
• Why timelines and budgets are where corners get cut
• Calling out a cheaper material than the client paid for
• The lawsuit they could have won and chose not to file
• Answering daily to a state authority, and why that helps
She is also clear that none of it is about being nice, because in her framing love in business is the courage to stand up for the right thing even when it costs you the client.
