Ep.772 - Unnecessary Pushing

from Elevate Construction Hosted by Jason Schroeder

Jason talks about the unnecessary push, using a freeway to show why speeding up between traffic jams gains nothing. He explains that a project only moves as fast as its slowest trade or zone, so pushing faster crews only creates more stops and restarts. He urges leaders to level the work, expand bottlenecks, and remove roadblocks instead. What you'll learn in this episode: Why trades should move through zones at the same speed and distance apart How the freeway analogy shows that speeding up between bottlenecks gains nothing Why a project will never go faster than its slowest trade or zone How unnecessary pushing creates more stops, restarts, and bottlenecks Why faster trades could help slower ones and level the whole system Are you pushing a fast trade ahead, or fixing the slowest one?
