Dawgs! Would love for you all to try out this app for your jobsite(s). It gives you live feedback on the health of your job based on a 10 question, bilingual survey designed to take less than 90 seconds. We then have 2 optional, open ended questions at the end asking what your biggest slowdown is and what the leadership should change. Click this link: https://jobsite-pulse.vercel.app/login -Create a Login -Create a project -click the QR Code button top right -Print and share the QR code -Collect your feedback! -Once you have a good amount of feedback, the bottom right of the dashboard has an AI Voice that will analyze your feedback and give you suggested actions. Would love to hear some feedback. Shout out to Marcus for teaching this Old Dawg new tricks!

What if the best thing you've ever done on a jobsite can't be taught? That's a question I've been wrestling with. I've spent more than 40 years in construction, and like a lot of us, I've been fortunate enough to turn around difficult jobs, mentor younger superintendents, and solve problems that didn't seem to have a solution. For a long time, I thought experience was the answer. Now I think experience is only part of it. The real question is: Can you explain why you made the decision you made? Or does it just live in your instincts? Too much of our industry depends on personality. "He's just a natural leader." "She's got great instincts." "He just knows how to run work." But what happens when they retire? If we can't explain what we're doing in a way someone else can learn, practice, and repeat, then we've passed on stories instead of standards. The next generation doesn't just need our experience. They need a framework they can stand on while they're building their own. That's what I've been trying to put into words over the last few years. Not a better personality. A better standard. I'm curious... What's one thing you've done for years that came naturally to you—but only later realized you had to learn how to teach? I'd enjoy hearing from some folks who've spent a lifetime building this industry.

I would love to hear how the Lean coffee went this morning. Unfortunately, I have a reoccurring Toastmasters meeting that conflicts. Also, what do you think about my new profile picture?

This was great! I have also added some slides directly from a Hoots training session that gives clear step-by-step instructions on how to build a Takt Plan. Let's do a follow-up in 60 days so we can do a bit of a show and tell with our progress. Shout out to Tom, Jason and Boone who, to nobody's surprise, had great input and wisdom to impart on the rest of us. Thanks to Denver for initiating this and bringing a real, concrete challenge to the Old Dawgs.
