"The Trades Won't Do It" - That's a Lie. Let's Talk. In this episode, Jason Schroeder calls out one of the most common and laziest excuses on job sites: "The trades won't do it." Won't pull plan? Won't do huddles? Won't use weekly work plans? 🚨 Total. B.S. Jason shares years of hard-won experience proving that trades will engage when they're led with clarity, purpose, and respect. He digs into a tough conversation with a field leader who said, "Just be the a-hole and tell them what to do," and unpacks the cultural conditioning behind that mindset. In this episode: Why the "they won't do it" excuse reveals weak leadership not uncooperative trades. How field teams actually crave clarity, not command-and-control. The balance of decisive leadership with genuine care. Why asking "What do you need?" is still one of the most powerful questions you can lead with. Whether you're a superintendent, PM, or foreman, this episode is your no-BS wake-up call to lead like a builder, not a bystander.   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two 😊).   Also, here are links to our YouTube Channels: · Jason Schroeder YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4xpRYvrW5Op5Ckxs4vDGDg · LeanTakt YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/leanTakt · LeanSuper YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzQDevqQP19L4LePuqma3Fg/featured · LeanSurvey YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-Ztn3okFhyB_3p5nmMKnsw
