Listen Later

76% of construction business owners spend 15+ hours a week on tasks their foreman could handle

Today, we’re exploring why 80% of your building project's success depends on your foreman - and how to transform this role from a glorified carpenter into your mini-CEO. 

We dive deep into practical systems for empowering your foreman with clear scorecards, ‘Wildly Important Goals’ (WIGs), and accountability measures that drive results. 

You’ll see how to create visibility across your projects, implement default calendars to eliminate constant interruptions, and build competitive performance tracking between sites - so you can boost company-wide success.
