Ep.1702 - Training From the Battle Perch
Notas del episodio
What if one of the best places to train future construction leaders is above the job site? In this episode, Jason explores the concept of the "battle perch" an elevated position where leaders can step back, observe the entire project, and learn from what the building and the site are showing them. Jason shares how this idea can become more than an observation tool by turning it into a deliberate mentoring opportunity for assistant superintendents, field engineers, project engineers, and project managers.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why a bird's-eye view can reveal things you may miss at ground level.
- How the battle perch supports strategic and tactical observation.
- Why leaders should intentionally slow down and let the job site teach them.
- How to use the battle perch as a mentoring and career-development tool.
- Why bringing younger leaders along can build stronger field judgment.
Are you using your battle perch just to observe or to develop the next generation of builders?
