Old Dawg Leadership Podcast - Kick Off Episode - Ep 01

What is leadership, and what is it supposed to produce?In the very first episode of the Old Dawg Leadership Podcast, Adam Hoots sits down with construction veterans James Gable and Mike Chiles to explore one of the most important questions in the industry. Through stories from the field, hard-earned lessons, and practical leadership principles, they discuss why true leadership isn't about titles or authority. It's about influence, communication, and developing the next generation of leaders. From the "best finisher becomes foreman" dilemma to the 87/13 principle and the idea that leadership is caught more than it's taught, this conversation lays the foundation for everything the Old Dawg community stands for. Whether you're leading a crew, managing projects, or just beginning your career in construction, this kickoff episode offers practical wisdom you can put to work immediately. Join the conversation and discover why the best leaders don't create followers. They create more leaders.Connect with the Old Dawg Builder's Community Skool: skool.com/olddawg  YouTube: @OldDawgs  LinkedIn: Old Dawgs Builder's Community
