Bill Duguay doesn’t coach leadership teams from the outside. He’s been inside — as a laborer, superintendent, project manager, professional engineer, board director, and president of a 700-person, 100% employee-owned construction company in Texas.
He didn’t learn leadership from a textbook. He learned it when decisions had to be made, people were counting on him, and the outcomes were his to own. Bidding billion-dollar projects alongside top ENR contractors. Navigating an ESOP ownership transition from the inside. Leading a complex business where safety, cash, people, clients, and execution all mattered at the same time.
That experience is what walks into the room with your leadership team.
Today Bill is an Enterprise Leadership Team Coach, Certified EOS Implementer® and independent director. He works with CEOs, owners, and leadership teams in construction, manufacturing, marine, and employee-owned companies.
Most of those companies have reached an inflection point. They’re growing. The founder is thinking about what comes next. Ownership or leadership is changing. An ESOP needs to deliver on its promise. The business has gotten more complex. Or the leadership team that got them here needs to evolve to get them where they want to go next.
Bill understands the pressure around these businesses because he’s lived it. Sureties with a finger on your growth. Bankers scrutinizing your ratios. Insurers watching your risk profile. Major clients betting on your ability to execute. Boards expecting you to plan, predict, and perform. And in an ESOP, employee-owners who have earned equity and are counting on leadership to build something worth owning.
His work is immersive, onsite, and shoulder to shoulder with the leadership team. It combines the discipline of EOS with Adaptive Leadership, team effectiveness, and practical facilitation.
The goal isn’t to make the team dependent on a coach. It’s to help them get on the same page, say the things that need to be said, solve what is actually getting in the way, and build the focus, discipline, and accountability to execute without everything rolling uphill to one or two people.
Bill holds professional engineering licenses in three states, NACD and Private Directors Association directorship certifications, and specialized training in ESOP governance.
He brings an operator’s experience, a director’s perspective, and a facilitator’s discipline to the room.
The hard work can’t start until the hard thing gets said.
That’s where Bill comes in.
