In this episode, Jason Schroeder challenges the concept of "no school supers"—superintendents who believe they can simply "wing it" on the job without any formal education or training. Jason explains how this mindset is not only dangerous but also incredibly destructive to the construction industry. He emphasizes the importance of learning from mentors, reading, and continuous education to truly succeed in the field.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why "winging it" without education leads to poor leadership and destructive practices.
- The difference between "old school" supers who keep learning and "no school" supers who don't.
- How to avoid panic, push, and rushing by gaining proper training and knowledge.
- Why continuous learning is crucial to understanding principles of safety, quality, and production.
- The impact of not investing in education on project success and team dynamics.
What can you do today to start learning and growing as a leader, rather than just "figuring it out" on your own?
