Ep 224 | Treat Your Paperwork Like Your Paycheck


Listen Later

In this episode, I break down one of the most overlooked skills in construction and field leadership: documentation. As a former crew leader, I didn't always realize that paperwork isn't "admin work" — it's a production tool. Accurate, timely documentation protects your paycheck, your progress, and your credibility as a leader. I share how daily reports, quantities, and notes directly impact productivity, project decisions, and the trust you build with your team and leadership. If you want to run a job like a professional and grow as a leader, it starts with treating your paperwork the same way you treat your paycheck — with accuracy and urgency.

Key Topics:

  • Why paperwork is a production tool — not busywork
  • How documentation directly impacts your paycheck
  • The role of accuracy and timeliness in strong leadership
  • How great paperwork builds trust, clarity, and performance
