John Coffman shares the plate spinners story about a field engineer who struggled to juggle every responsibility of a general contractor superintendent, and how a suggestion to become a subcontractor superintendent instead changed the man's entire career years later.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why not every builder is meant to be a general contractor superintendent
• How the plate spinners analogy explains juggling too many responsibilities
• Why subcontractor superintendents need deep, focused expertise
• How one honest conversation changed a struggling engineer's whole career
• Why a superintendent's job is asking questions, not having every answer

Are you trying to spin more plates than you're actually built for?
