From Craftsman to Leader: The Blueprint to Construction Management Success with Eric Anderton

Are you a contractor struggling with the transition from skilled craftsperson to effective leader? Do you want to elevate your construction business and build a high-performing team? This insightful conversation between Paul Sanneman from Contractor Staffing Source and Eric Anderton, the renowned Construction Genius, is exactly what you need!
"In the construction business, when someone in charge isn't doing their job well, it messes up things for everyone. It's not fair to the team who works hard and counts on their leaders to guide them. It's not cool for our customers, who expect us to do a great job. And it's not good for the person who's struggling, because they might do better in a different place where their skills match up better. The best thing to do is to let them go. This helps our team stay strong, keeps our customers happy, and gives that person a chance to find a better fit. Don’t delay, make the tough choice, the right choice, and watch your business thrive." - Eric Anderton
