The Superintendent Commandments include 20 principles like prioritize your task list, study drawings 30 minutes daily, take reflection walks, and remove roadblocks as top priority. Do not work more than 55 hours per week. The Superintendent Secret Sauce lists 32 items including sees the future, drives with urgency, creates flow, and does not delegate safety, quality, and schedule. Motion does not equal value. Overproduction and inventory is the mother of all waste.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • 20 commandments: prioritize tasks, study drawings 30 minutes daily, reflection walks, visualize plan, remove roadblocks as priority
  • Daily tasks: morning huddle, safety planning 10 minutes, drawing study 30 minutes, schedule review, reflection walk
  • Secret sauce: sees future, doesn't work more than 55 hours, drives urgency, creates flow, equal to PM
  • Reading list: Two Second Lean, How to Win Friends, Switch, Speed of Trust, Extreme Ownership
  • Project expectations: everyone knows how to be safe, what to install, makes improvements daily, nothing hits floor

A good superintendent does not keep a plan in his or her head because they know that communicating the plan to everyone is what creates success on the project.
