Leader standard work isn't a fancy productivity hack it's the system that makes every other improvement idea actually stick. In this episode, Jason explains why new habits, meetings, and processes fail when leaders don't have a "receptacle" for them, and how leader standard work protects the critical 20% of actions that drive 80% of results. You'll hear real examples from Jason's own calendar as a lead superintendent and as a director, plus a practical way to build your week around role clarity, personal commitments, key meetings, and the unavoidable chaos of the job. If you want to be more effective, get home on time, and stop being a victim to everyone else's priorities, this is the foundation.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• What leader standard work is and why it's the "receptacle" that sustains habits, processes, and improvement
• How to build leader standard work in the right order: role → resolutions → standard work → personal organization system
• How to structure your week: family/personal time first, then required project meetings, then your critical standard work, then chaos
• The minimum protection target (50% or your project is in trouble) and the goal (80%+) for completing your leader standard work
• How daily plan-reading, schedule review, and field walks become a trigger system to see the future and stay ahead of problems

If your calendar is currently running you what would change if you designed leader standard work that protected your priorities first?
