It takes considerable focus and commitment to become an expert. Four steps: read everything, study history, get 10 years in your role, join a community of like-minded people. Switching companies for a better paycheck and asking to be promoted to superintendent in three years is hurting the industry. What you say should be just the tip of the iceberg of what you know.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Read everything: books, articles, case studies, constantly consuming content to build depth
• Study history: know what worked and failed, influencers without this get limited fast
• Ten years in role: 35-year-old general supers and five-year paths to superintendent are part of why projects tank
• Join a community: hang around people who share mistakes and push each other to get better
• Accountability fix: make the team fix their own crash landing, do not dispatch a closer to band-aid it

If you are going to aspire to greatness then you actually need to be great, and you cannot put yourself in a position where you say you can do something and you really do not know how to do it.
