The most effective leaders understand that leadership is more than just giving orders and dictating how things should be done. It’s about understanding the unique needs of everyone in your company (or department) and finding a way to lead in a fair and compassionate manner.
For years, we in the trades have modeled our leadership styles by methods that might now be considered “old school.” Those methods may have worked once, but they simply do not represent the “abundance mindset” that is necessary to be an effective leader in today’s workforce. As a young plumbing business owner, I remember yelling at my techs, using intimidation techniques and feeling like I had to act superior to gain (or keep) any respect at all. This was all a lie, and now after three decades in the home services industry, I’m honored to be able to share my past “mistakes” with others to help you create your own shortcuts to your desired goals.
