Listen "Ep.1497 - Get Used to Not Knowing It All"
Episode Synopsis
In this short but powerful episode, Jason Schroeder challenges a deeply ingrained leadership myth in construction: the idea that great leaders must know everything. Through real project stories, he contrasts leaders who refuse help with those who actively seek expertise and shows how that single difference can mean the success or failure of a massive job. What you'll learn in this episode: Why believing you "know everything" quietly puts projects and teams at risk. The difference between multiplier leaders and diminishers in real construction scenarios. How seeking expert help can recover months on a failing schedule. Why leadership at higher levels makes solo problem solving impossible. How shielding your team from overburden and toxicity creates stability and flow. If knowing everything isn't the goal, what kind of leader could you become by asking for help sooner and more often?
