Elevating Construction Crew Leaders

A Principle Based & Step-by-step Guide for the Primary Leadership Role in Construction

By: Jason Schroeder, Joel Hamilton

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

All Progress Starts Here!

All successful construction projects rely on the ability of the crew leaders. Full stop. They are the last people in the planning cycle and the first people in the field on the front line. What's more, workers and crew leaders are the only positions that directly earn money in our industry; therefore, they are the most important from a quality, safety, schedule, and profit standpoint. They are our heroes, professionals, and skilled craft. Everything we do in construction should successfully bring materials, information, equipment, tools, and open areas to our crew leaders on a daily basis with as few interruptions as possible.

Nothing in our industry will change and elevate until we respect, enable, support, and provide training for this position. This book provides a framework for crew leaders to be successful in their roles as leaders and properly manage their teams.

A huge shout-out to Mike Good, Mike Trulove, Donny Metcalf, Jen Lacy, Emerson Dority, Raghuvaran Chakkravarthy, Robert Ceniceros, Phil Perry, and Abdelhamid Farah for their review and contributions. Thank you to Joel Hamilton for contributing so much to this book that he could be considered a co-author.

Informative for new crew leaders...

I really gave me confidence and a new perspective to approach my work and keep climbing up the ladder.
