Key Takeaways:

1️⃣ Who You Are is Who You Attract – If you want hardworking, high-performing employees, you must first model those qualities as a leader. Your leadership sets the standard for your team’s success.

2️⃣ Great Teams Aren’t Found—They’re Built – The best HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses don’t just hire great people; they develop them. Leadership is about coaching, not just managing.

3️⃣ Retention Starts with Leadership – High turnover in the trades is common, but top companies retain employees by creating a culture that makes people want to stay. Employees don’t leave jobs—they leave bad leadership.
