We talk a lot about strategy in construction. Planning, systems, flow, accountability—great stuff. But what if none of it works unless you confront one brutal truth?

👉 Some things just won't change.

In this episode, Jason shares a raw insight: no strategy survives if it doesn't align with the existing culture, habits, or wiring of your team. Whether it's senior staff refusing to plan materials, or entire teams frozen by unspoken norms, there are behaviors that strategy alone can't fix.

🔥 Listen to this one if you've ever:

• Tried to implement a change... and watched it die in silence.

• Pushed a plan that should work but didn't.

• Wondered why your team won't act, even when the path is clear.

• Felt like you're solving problems in the wrong language.

Jason also responds to a powerful question from a field engineer implementing Takt for the first time, and shares how the newly updated Takt Planning book can guide early wins.

Stop forcing change. Start designing around what people will actually do.
