Lend Me Your Ears

In this follow up to last week I explain how to Lead, Inspire, Fuel, and Train your employees. You won't want to miss this one.

To have a truly great company you need two things: happy employees and happy customers. Lend me your ears as I explain how I strive for both.

I used to brag about how different this industry was from other trades. We used to help each other. Now it seems we would rather argue. Lend me your ears as I wonder about what happened to us.

I have already talked about the need for putting safety first in our industry. Lend me your ears as I explain what happens when you have a run-in with OSHA. 

Two years ago my company was the subject of an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor. The case was finally finished in December. Lend me your ears as I explain how it all went down and how you can learn from it.

It was such an honor to sit down and chat with Anthony. Watching his company grow and thrive over the last few years has been a pleasure. His story and advice is something everyone in this business should hear.

To have a well-oiled machine of a company you need to build a team so strong that anyone who sees it won't be able to tell who the boss is. 

This statement might be one of the most ignorant things I hear people say, and here is why I think that.

I'm back and I'm coming out swinging! This industry is dangerous, and we need to start acting like it. The same week that pictures of dangerous activity are getting proudly shared one of our own fell off a roof and is in the hospital. Let's smarten up and start cultivating a culture of safety in our companies, no matter the size.
