Leadership Edge Live

Your foremen learned to lead by being yelled at

That's how the trade passed it down. It doesn't work anymore.

ONLINE, 30-MINUTES SESSIONS. Works around jobsite hours and travel.

In the field

What the schedule doesn't show you

01

Foremen and PMs blame each other

Field blames office, office blames field.

02

Nobody manages the sub, only the schedule

Your foreman knows the sub is behind. He says nothing.

03

Young engineers leave for a competitor

Two years of drafting. Nobody told them what's next.

04

Safety talk is a tailgate ritual

Five minutes off a card. Nobody names the hazard.

What it costs on a job

  • Rework nobody wants to admit
  • Schedule slip that started as conversation
  • Journeymen leaving mid-project for another contractor
  • Change orders born from missed communication

48%

of the U.S. construction workforce turned over in 2025 — close to half the industry, in a single year.
