Jason begins reading Elevating Construction Foreman, his new book for crew leaders, starting with the back cover, preface, and introduction. He explains why crew leaders are the most important role on a project and why their work has to be viewed through zones and Takt time. He introduces the shepherd as the mascot for crew leaders and the ten qualities of a shepherd leader.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why crew leaders and workers are the only roles that directly earn money in construction
- Why a crew leader's role makes the most sense through zones and Takt time
- How the Takt production system gives crew leaders a court, a scoreboard, and a clock
- The ten qualities of a shepherd leader
- Why the German Shepherd is the mascot for crew leaders
Are you leading your crew as a shepherd, or just
working beside them?
