Ep.1590 - The 10 "C"s continued, Feat. Joe Doherty

About this episode

Jason continues his discussion with Joe Doherty on the final five of The 10 C's, emphasizing effective field leadership in construction.

In this episode, Jason continues the conversation with Joe Doherty on The 10 C's, focusing on numbers 6 through 10. Joe explains how great superintendents complete on time, contain costs, continuously improve, check their ego, and command the standard. This conversation shows what real field leadership looks like: driving the work forward, protecting people, reducing waste, staying humble, and holding the line on quality, safety, cleanliness, and organization. What you'll learn in this episode: Why completing on time requires purpose, planning, and flow. How superintendents help contain costs by eliminating waste. Why continuous improvement is a core leadership responsibility. How checking your ego helps teams perform better. Why commanding the standard sets the tone for the entire project. Are your daily actions reinforcing the standard or quietly allowing the project to drift? If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.
