You’ve got a worker: - Good on the tools - Bad attitude - Brings the crew down Do you: A) Pull him aside B) Call it out in front of the crew C) Let it slide What are you doing here?

9 time out of ten you wont lose trust in your crew over night. It happens when you, - Avoid those hard conversations - Let the standards slip - Try to still be everyone's mate. Respect from workers within the crew slowly disintegrates and before its to late you now have a crew that doesn't want to work for you and have lost trust. Let me ask you this, Have you seen or been apart of this before? and what was the final outcome?

You could be the best tradesmen on site but the second you step into leadership, Everything changes. Now its about: - People - Timelines - Decisions - Safety And most of the time people will break dealing with the above Question: If you were to be able to talk to yourself the day before you went into a leadership role what would you tell yourself? For me I would tell myself these 3 things, - Don't sweat the small things, You have too much else to worry about then some small issue that will take 5 mins to resolve. - Don't show emotion in front of workers, You may think this may help bond with work crews but it shows you're vulnerable and can cause issues with authority In the future. - Take your time, You may think you have to be busy all the time but what this does is causes you to burn out, And the last thing a crew needs is it leader not in the right head space making the wrong decisions.
