Saying you want to grow your company without investing in your hiring process and retention is like saying you want to lose 20 lbs with a refrigerator full of cake and refusing to take the stairs.. It will never happen #growth #constructionjobs #dirtworld #constructionmanagement #projectmanagement

I think your Army background has definitely informed your leadership style and the gesture by your team is a reflection of leading rather than managing people. Leading and managing changing groups of people in high pressure/live environments is your USP! #leadership #people #buildingateam

Multitasking, at face value, seemed like the best option when I started 1-800-STRIPER® of Salt Lake City. However, I quickly realized that it just led to more stress and even less productivity. I've done two things to help with this: 1. The obvious thing - focus on one thing at a time. Setting scheduled time blocks and putting my phone in focus mode has allowed me to maximize the hours where I need to focus. 2. HIRING. Delegating responsibilities has never been a strength of mine. But if someone is capable of performing tasks at even 80% of my level of quality, I view it as a positive outcome. “Time is our most valuable resource. To make the most of it, we must prioritize our tasks and activities wisely.” - Jon Nikolov

Have you ever made the wrong choice when choosing your next job? I'd say there are very few who haven't at some point in their career. People leave jobs. It happens. Unfortunately, those people who've made that mistake more than once or twice consecutively can end up falling victim to the perception that they're not loyal, they're not good at their job or they're chasing the money when that may not always be the case in reality. Remember this when you're hiring people. There are some fantastic people out there who don't get given a chance because of situations that were beyond their control (poor management/leadership, unreasonable amendments to their job scope, change of strategic direction etc) Ask the right questions before you make a judgement.

Mistakes happen. That's the predictable part of life. The unpredictable part is how we deal with the mistakes. Do we deny them? Do we blame others? Do we fix them? It all depends on the mistake. Some mistakes have a bigger impact than others. In construction, a mistake could mean not working safely which can risk injuring others. In recruiting, a mistake could mean incorrect details on the offer letter. In management, a mistake could mean approving vacation for several team members, causing you to be understaffed. We never intend to mess up but part of your development is learning from it. As a candidate, if you are ever asked, "Can you tell me about a time when you made a mistake?", be honest. It helps us see how you handled it, what you wish you did differently, how it made you feel and how it changed you to be the person you are today. Everyone makes mistakes. Not everyone learns from them. #weareinthistogether

I couldn't agree more 🙌 A positive culture is the secret sauce that turns a group of individuals into a cohesive, high-performing team. Even the strongest cultures can be threatened by problematic behavior. That's why it's important to recognize the signs early and address issues head-on to ensure small problems don't snowball into bigger challenges. Let's not forget, senior leadership is not immune. It's imperative that leaders set the example, embody the values, and address issues within their own ranks. #WorkplaceCulture #Leadership #PositiveWorkEnvironment

Although I never approved of sharing my personal thoughts and problems on private topics here, I often wrote: "No matter how good you are. You have no value if you are in the wrong place." However, I experienced a first in the Big Bag industry, which I have been in since 1986, and I made the wrong choice. I was somewhere I shouldn't be. "At Denizpacking company". And I did my best for this wrong place, I made great efforts. We say that no matter where you come back from the loss, it is profit or you have to come back from the mistake. So I did that and ended all my relationship with Denizpacking company. An employer, a manager, a company owner should have broad horizons. He should trust his professional managers. It should provide opportunities for professional managers to reflect their talents on the job. One should not do the opposite of these, should not go behind the backs of their professional managers, or act treacherous. Most importantly, one should not lie and keep promises.  He shouldn't deny it. He should not see the professional managers to whom he entrusts his work as an opportunity. This is all I have to say. I continue my work in the company I own. Because the only thing I am sure of is that neither I can leave this industry nor this industry will leave me. :-) I would like to sincerely thank each of my friends who know the subject and all my problems, know me closely and always support me. Thanks & Best Regards.
