Ep.1391 - Mandatory Buffer Usage

from Elevate Construction · host Jason Schroeder

What If We Required Buffers on Construction Projects? Sounds crazy, right? In this quick but powerful episode, Jason Schroeder flips a long-standing industry mindset on its head: What if we didn't just allow buffers, what if we mandated them? Discover why forced downtime might be the secret to innovation. How buffer usage could actually boost performance instead of stall it. And why constraining others' time may be killing your team's creativity and growth. Jason also shares exciting updates on the Elevating Construction book series and reflects on lessons learned from his own leadership evolution including what Toyota taught him about giving people room to think. This episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about productivity. Listen in and start planning for real-life, not fantasy schedules.
