EPISODE 410: Do you find yourself always dealing with chaos, simply expecting your construction team to ā€œfigure it outā€?Ā 

What if success in your construction business could be defined as clearly as Billy Beane defined it with the Oakland A’s?

In this episode of the Construction Leading Edge podcast, I’ll break down how you can apply the Moneyball approach to your construction business, using data, behaviors, and leading indicators to drive consistent wins.

Here’s what you’re going to discover in this episode…

  • How to define success in terms of behaviors, rather than results

  • Why old-school construction metrics and strategies keep you stuck

  • How focusing on leading indicators can help your team meet targets consistently

  • Why even top athletes (and your team) need structure and clarity to perform at their best

  • How a culture of accountability can transform average performers into A-players

…and a whole lot more!

If you’re ready to stop leading on gut feelings and start winning on purpose, this episode is for you.

Let’s dive in!
