Listen "Ep.1181 - Sandbagging"
Episode Synopsis
In this podcast we cover: The origin of the term. What it means. Why it happens. Why it's bad for everyone. In this episode, I dive into the concept of sandbagging, where it comes from, and why it shows up so often in construction projects. I share the origins of the term, explain how it plays out on jobsites, and explore the real costs it creates for both general contractors and trade partners. From wasted time and higher overhead to supply chain misalignment, sandbagging always leads to inefficiency. Most importantly, I explain how sandbagging is not just about scheduling but about trust and leadership. By building a culture of honesty and creating realistic plans, leaders can eliminate the conditions that cause sandbagging and set projects up for success.
