In conversation with Garry Sangha, CEO, Crystal Consulting Group of Companies

What makes a strong leader? What are your key leadership strengths are make the strongest attributes of success.

A strong leader communicates clearly setting expectations that push teams to be their best. Moreover, a leader understands that schedule is not negotiable. This means that a promise to deliver is a show of commitment. Consistently keeping the promise leads to a reputation that persists through market turbulence. To me, as a leader I never compromise on schedule, just the same that I keep to budget and deliver to the specification agreed to. Construction is tough business with a lot of complexity, but even though, I have led the growth of the CCI Group of companies resulting in a family business that rivals the best in our province.

An accomplishment that you consider to be the most significant in your career? What challenges did you face to reach to the success.

As a family company we recently branched out of construction and into real estate development in a big way. Our first major project is the Grand on King George by Allure Developments. The Grand will be one of the tallest towers in Surrey City Centre at 46 stories and also features a 6 story commercial podium. As new entrants to the market we had to learn running and bull doze our way through the complex web of design, finance, city approvals and sales in a highly competitive market. I am proud to say that we sold the development out in a matter of weeks reaching new heights in the market. Currently we are working towards adding another 4 towers and almost 1,500 more residential units in Surrey City Centre.

What is a role of leader in these challenging times. List 5 in order of priority.

A leader has the biggest shoulders in the group. He carries the weight of the decisions and lends his energy to all involved to constantly push projects forward. It is the leader’s responsibility to take the team along always providing the nurturing or prodding required to maintain positive forward momentum.
