Ep.1102 - Own the Outcome with the Foremen

In this podcast we cover:

• Sometimes we need to reach out.
• We need to understand what trades go through.
• And own the relationship.

In this episode Jason dives into the importance of owning expectations when working with foremen in construction. He explains how years of mistreatment, disrespect, and delayed payments have shaped the way many foremen approach their work. Instead of waiting for them to change, Jason challenges leaders to take responsibility for the relationship and extend the olive branch. Drawing from personal stories and lessons learned, he highlights the value of humility, patience, and extreme ownership. Foremen often carry projects across the finish line despite poor leadership, and it is time superintendents and project leaders recognize that truth. This episode is both a reality check and a roadmap for building trust and stronger collaboration on every job site.
