  • Mindset Magic: How to Manage Your Employees, Clients, and Yourself

    The buildings and infrastructure you see all around you started with a single thought. That thought was communicated to people who then built with skill and hard work. Without that thought, nothing would be created. Just like how those buildings started with a thought, your thoughts and your mindset also play a critical role when it comes to the success of your business.

    Your thoughts dictate your actions and behavior. Without having control over your mindset, you can make poor decisions in critical situations that will affect you, your clients and even how your employees perceive you as their leader. What can you do to gain greater control? That's what we're here to find out in this Construction Genius episode as Casey Grey, founder of The Conscious Builder, shares with us how your mindset can make a difference to the way you manage your employees and your clients.

    Do you need help clarifying your company's unique personality? You could benefit from engaging an expert meeting facilitator that knows construction.

    Here's what Vance Lancaster, Vice President of Lancaster-Burns says about working with Eric on the Triangle One Page Plan process:

    You helped us understand what our Purpose, Personality, Plan, and Priority is. We probably had an opportunity to do this 10 years ago, but we didn't take it. I can't imagine how much further along we'd be if we had.

    It's now a tool we use in every personnel review, conversation, quarterly meeting, and interview. It's a foundation of what this organization is about, and we use it to help everybody understand that.

    Clients come in and we use this triangle to help them understand what type of contractor we are.

  • 78 - Boosting Performance and Profits by Inspiring Safety Leadership

    In the construction industry there are many strategies to generate and increase profits, including safety. However, with some construction companies, instead of creating a balance, we see a pendulum that swings between productivity and safety, undermining the truth that a safe company is a profitable company.

    In this week's podcast episode, I have a great conversation with Larry Markham, co-owner and founder of SAFE (Safety Associates For Employers, LLC). He stresses the importance of prioritizing safety in the workplace and how it affects profitability, how the safety culture starts at the top and how CEOs can demonstrate this culture personally to their employees. We also talk about making the right financial investments when it comes to safety, and what the safety culture will look like in 5-10 years from now.
