Ep.1411 - Building Capacity w/ an Employee Experience, Feat. Chris Pomey

from Elevate Construction · host Jason Schroeder

What if working 70-hour weeks wasn't the badge of honor the industry makes it out to be? What if the real mark of leadership was giving your teams the capacity to succeed and the freedom to thrive? In this episode, Chris Pomey, field operations leader at Manhattan Construction shares how building capacity and focusing on the employee experience can transform both people and projects. From digging ditches and plumbing to leading national teams, Chris's career is built on one principle: do the right things, at the right time, the right way. We'll cover: Why the industry's obsession with long hours is broken and how to fix it. The mantra that drives discipline and frees up team capacity. How to avoid the "RFI death spiral" through better planning. Real-world lessons on balancing productivity, safety, and people's lives. Why change isn't hard when teams are hungry for a better experience. If you want to lead projects without burning out your people and actually make construction fun again, this conversation will give you the tools and mindset to get there. 🎧 Listen now and discover how capacity creates innovation, balance, and remarkable results.   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two 😊).   Also, here are links to our YouTube Channels: · Jason Schroeder YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4xpRYvrW5Op5Ckxs4vDGDg · LeanTakt YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/leanTakt · LeanSuper YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzQDevqQP19L4LePuqma3Fg/featured · LeanSurvey YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-Ztn3okFhyB_3p5nmMKnsw
