Jason reads the full recommended book list from the upcoming Elevating Construction Senior Superintendent in response to the steady stream of requests he gets for reading recommendations. From Brendon Burchard's High Performance Habits to Patrick Lencioni's full stack of leadership fables, from The Goal and This Is Lean to Mindset and The Captain Class, this episode is a comprehensive personal library walkthrough for any superintendent or project manager who wants to elevate their game. He also points to Blinkist as an option for those who prefer the 10 minute summary route.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Why High Performance Habits and Leadership and Self-Deception are foundational for any leader
The full Patrick Lencioni library: The Motive, Five Dysfunctions, Death by Meeting, The Advantage, Truth About Employee Engagement, Ideal Team Player
Why Mindset by Carol Dweck might be the most important book of the century
Why The Goal, The Bottleneck Rules, This Is Lean, and The Toyota Production System belong on every superintendent's shelf
The case for The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up applied to project sites
Three reading paths: physical books, Kindle, Audible, or Blinkist summaries
Knowledge isn't power. Action is power. Pick one or two from the list, finish them, and implement.
