Read How to Win Friends and Influence People to learn skills not taught in schools or trades. Create 14 communication resolutions like no cussing, no accusing, never get angry, stay moral, bring high energy. Learn Excel, Bluebeam, and P6 because superintendents must be proficient with technology. Stay out of the box by presuming positive intentions. Jason cussed out a mechanical contractor about air handlers and threatened to kill somebody, got in trouble, and realized he was in the box.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Communication resolutions: no cussing, no accusing, never get angry, bring excitement and love to every interaction
• Technology proficiency: Excel for logistics and schedules, Bluebeam for coordination, P6 for CPM scheduling
• Visual communication: get plan out of your head, use laminated schedules, huddle boards, maps, whiteboards
• Harness team energy: sense of urgency, acceptable pace, optimism and morale drive production
• Stay out of the box: presume positive intentions, stop exaggerating faults, choose right thing before reaction escalates

When negativity occurs with others there is a tendency to begin deceiving ourselves about their intentions and behaviors, and the only way to get out of the box is to do the right thing by choosing to stop letting others control your behavior and assuming they have good intentions.
