Ep.1368 - Dealing with People IS YOUR JOB!

This one’s going to hit home.

We’ve all seen it, a rude PM, an arrogant superintendent, an aggressive designer on a call, or a toxic leader on a mega project. It’s easy to justify behavior like this as “just the way things are” in construction. But Jason reminds us of a deeper truth: how we treat people is part of our job.

In this episode:

• Why communication, kindness, and collaboration are essential job skills.

• What it feels like to be dismissed or belittled (Jason shares a personal and frustrating visit with a specialist).

• Why mega projects often bring out the worst behaviors.

• And why the most noble thing in construction might be leading a small project with stability and dignity.

Plus, Jason answers a listener’s question about finding the First Planner System book (spoiler: it’s now titled Elevating Pre-Construction Planning due to Amazon publishing issues).

This episode is for anyone who's ever felt mistreated at work or wants to be a better builder, leader, and human.
