Ep.1720 - Pretend You Own the Company

If you're a Project Executive or General Superintendent, you cannot afford to treat your role like a box-checking position. In this episode, Jason explains why senior construction leaders need to think like business owners, understanding the risk, finances, client relationships, team performance, and long-term health of the company as if it were their own. Jason also introduces the difference between a continuous improvement leader and a "continuous comfort" leader. The higher you rise in leadership, the more important it becomes to keep learning, stay engaged with clients, support your teams, embrace new tools, and resist the temptation to put your role on autopilot.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why PXs and General Superintendents should think like business owners.
• The difference between continuous improvement and continuous comfort leadership.
• Why senior leaders cannot afford to stop learning and developing.
• How getting too comfortable can disconnect leaders from clients and project teams.
• Why ownership mentality requires balancing hard work, growth, risk, and responsibility.

Are you leading your role like you own the business or simply managing the position you were given?
