In this episode, Jason discusses the critical role of a manager's presence in construction and business environments. Drawing from real-world experiences in construction projects, banking, and restaurants, he highlights why a manager cannot hide in the office or behind systems, true leadership requires being visible, accessible, and actively solving problems.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why hiding as a manager is considered "cowardly behavior".
• How active presence empowers teams and keeps projects flowing.
• Lessons from field leadership and vendor engagement in Japan.
• How managers should balance problem-solving with team support.
• Why visibility and accessibility are key indicators of effective leadership.

Are your managers visible, actively supporting the team, or just "checking in" from afar?
