Description

Contractor performance doesn't improve with more babysitting; it improves when expectations are clear, measurable, and visible to everyone. In this episode, Jason shares a proven "trade partner grading system" that creates collective accountability on site and takes pressure off the superintendent. You'll learn how to grade only non-subjective criteria, publish the results consistently, and use simple visual tools that help teams rise to the occasion. When people can see the standard, they can hit the standard and the whole project gets safer, cleaner, and more stable.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why you can't manage what you can't measure and how grading makes performance visible
•  How to build non-subjective grading criteria (yes/no, countable, provable) that drive stability and flow
• How to use weekly consistency, peer visibility, and a "circle of trust" to create real accountability.
•  Why trade partners should grade the GC first and how reciprocity makes the system fair and effective
• How clear expectations protect the A players, help F players rise, and reduce superintendent overburden

Are you protecting your best performers or letting hidden problems steal time, money, and morale from the whole team?
