Sick of babysitting your team when you should be running your construction business?

In today's episode of The Builders Ladder, we break down a no-nonsense system for sorting your A-players from the deadweight that's costing you time and money on site.

Once you've got the right crew firing on all cylinders, you can finally step back from constantly putting out fires and micromanaging every decision.

You'll get battle-tested tools for running toolbox talks that actually stick, simple scorecards that keep everyone accountable, and proven ways to invest your time where it matters — growing the business instead of chasing up mistakes.

Plus, discover why treating your staff like a professional sports team (not a family) is the key to better margins and smoother projects.
