Ep.1198 - Never Go on Site Without Caring for Foremen
In this podcast we cover:
- Why it's important to be field focused.
- Why it's important to be foremen focused.
- How we can constantly really care for the people that matter most.
This episode is a passionate call to action for anyone who leads, manages, or supports construction projects. The message is simple yet powerful, never go on site without caring for foremen.
I share my personal journey from working in the mud at 13 years old to leading at the highest levels, and why that experience fuels my conviction that foremen and workers must always come first. You’ll hear why disconnected, ivory-tower management destroys teams, wastes money, and disrespects the very people who build our projects.
Instead of optimizing paperwork and meetings, we should be asking foremen what they need, removing their roadblocks, and giving them the respect they deserve. Lean leadership is about trust, respect for people, and enabling those on the frontlines to succeed.
If you’re ready to shift your focus back to where it belongs, the boots on the ground, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.
