Passionless Projects Fail. Don't Let Yours Be One of Them. In construction, critique is essential but cutting out the heart of a project in the name of safety or consensus? That's how you kill innovation. In Episode 1378 of the Elevate Construction Podcast, Jason Schroeder draws a bold parallel between Pixar's recent failure with Elio and what's happening on too many job sites: over-sanitized planning, zero boldness, and teams afraid to lead with vision. Tune in to hear: Why PPC (Percent Plan Complete) is overrated and what actually drives performance. How over-engineering risk reviews can leave you with a “milk toast” project. The warning signs that your team is playing it too safe. A powerful reminder from a real-world, passion-filled project (BSRL) that broke the mold.
This episode pulls no punches. Jason Schroeder breaks down a hard truth in the construction world, some superintendents are sabotaging themselves and their teams by clinging to outdated habits, sloppy leadership, and inflated egos. He's not calling out individuals he's calling out the persona that holds this industry back. You'll hear: The brutal contrast between Ego-Driven Fools vs. Superintendents 2.0 & 3.0. Real-life examples of toxic leadership and why it fails. 10 clear traits of ego-driven behavior (and how Jason admits to struggling with a few himself). Actionable ways to ditch the ego and build real influence through humility, planning, and leadership.
When Perfection Gets in the Way of Progress, A Wake-Up Call for PMs. Let's get real: some project managers confuse control with value. In this episode Jason Schroeder calls out the all-too-common trap of nauseating perfection where PMs overprocess, nitpick, and stall teams in the name of looking polishe but not actually building with excellence. Inside this episode: Why over-perfection is waste, not leadership. How credentials and certifications mean nothing without execution. The difference between aesthetic checklists and real project outcomes. Why great builders simplify, reduce, and enable not complicate. A powerful listener story that proves culture and connection drive performance. If you're more focused on dotting I's than delivering results, it's time to step back and rethink your impact.
“Play Ball!” – What General Patton Can Teach Us About Project Readiness. In this episode, Jason Schroeder shares a powerful story from WWII and how it directly applies to construction leadership today. You'll learn how General Patton's rapid response during the Battle of the Bulge wasn't just history, it's a blueprint for operational excellence on modern jobsites.
Toxic Culture vs. Healthy Accountability. Where's the Line? Not all dissent is healthy. Not all questions are constructive. In this episode, Jason Schroeder takes on one of the most nuanced leadership challenges in construction today: How do you build a psychologically safe culture without letting toxic behaviors grow in the shadows? In this episode, Jason dives into: The fine line between speaking up and sabotaging culture. Why “shadow leadership” and gossip can silently erode trust. A list of 20 toxic workplace behaviors every leader must watch for. How to protect your team's voice without opening the door to dysfunction. A practical script for calling out harmful behavior without becoming toxic yourself.
What if the most powerful leadership move on your jobsite isn't a schedule update or a safety briefing but a heartfelt thank you? In this episode, Mark Story returns to unpack the often-overlooked superpower of appreciation in construction. From walking jobsites with intention to catching workers doing something right, Mark shares real stories that prove how gratitude changes culture, boosts morale, and builds unstoppable crews. Jason and Mark also dive into:✅ Soft skills that separate real leaders from seagulls.✅ The daily rituals that build trust and loyalty.✅ How a two-word phrase can be more valuable than a paycheck.✅ And why your success at work starts at home. Whether you're a general superintendent, project leader, or just getting started in the field this episode will make you rethink how you show up, lead, and connect.

Growth isn't just about bigger projects or tighter timelines; it's about developing leadership. When the leaders try to do everything themselves, struggle to delegate, or are unable to build trust within their teams, it often leads to hitting the ceiling. Emotional intelligence, intentional listening, and clarity of intent are essential in shaping high-performing teams. Building self-awareness, fighting the impostor syndrome, and leading through uncertainty might seem challenging at times, but it's up to the leaders to decide which direction is best for your organization. Rachel Burr is an executive coach, author, speaker, leadership consultant, and people expert with over 20 years of experience and a unique blend of insight, action, and humor. Having an exceptional understanding of how people work inside out, Rachel collaborates with leaders who are experts in their fields but in need of help with the people part of the leadership. She helps to break down confusing issues related to people by listening with heart, mind, and empathy, and trained analytical skills. She joined us today to talk about why construction companies stopped growing and how to fix them. HIGHLIGHTS [01:42] ‘Listening' as a fundamental skill in leadership. [03:43] Managing emotional reactions in leadership. [09:30] The importance of clarity and building trust with a team. [12:38] The importance of being open to learn from mistakes. [14:20] Emotional intelligence in construction. [17:46] The alignment between intent and delivery. [25:24] Challenges of overcoming the impostor syndrome. [29:46] The disadvantages of not listening. [36:48] Letting go to grow. [39:16] How to ask powerful questions? KEY TAKEAWAYS Instead of hearing, listen to understand. Stop trying to pretend you're always logical, expect the emotions will show up. In times of chaos, trust is what keeps a team steady. Build trust before the storm. Leadership isn't about perfection. Make the best decision you can, learn from it, and keep moving forward. Saying the right thing the wrong way can still do damage. Own your delivery, share your intent. Remember that impostor syndrome is common among leaders. Treat it as a sign of pushing the boundaries, not failing.

In a slight departure from our usual building performance themes joining us for this episode we have Richard Muscat, a man who has experienced the world of investment and tech from a fascinating range of angles and is seeking ways to do things differently.In essence, we're looking at the way venture capital and climatetech are organised in ways that aren't conducive to delivering the impact that's promised. We're not just picking on VCs, we're using them as a means of highlighting a bunch of systemic economic issues—chief among them is how unrealistic goals for growth (in its myriad forms) almost always leads to failed impact. Perversely, it's a bug in the impact investment space that's a feature of the broader investment system.We also get into concepts of degrowth and economic biodiversity.Good Homes Alliance eventLaunch event of our a best practice guide to ‘Water Efficiency and Reuse in Housing' on Thursday 10 July.Notes from the showRichard Muscat on LinkedinThe Untangled websiteRichard's recent LinkedIn post that we mentionThe Project Drawdown websiteHuman flourishing doesn't require perpetual growth; it requires sufficiency, by Jason HickelSmarter Finance 4 EU — the project Jeff's been working on and promoting because green home certification is about not just energy use, or IAQ, etc, but how residents live their lives once they leave the front door i.e. nature + cycling + public transport + climate resilience etc. all matter**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff and Dan about Zero Ambitions Partners (the consultancy) for help with positioning and communications strategy, customer/user research and engagement strategy, carbon calculations and EPDs – we're up to all sortsSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd Alter's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Retrofit Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

Just made the leap into a superintendent role? Feeling like you're drinking from a firehose? You're not alone and this episode is for you. Jason Schroeder answers a powerful listener message from a newly promoted superintendent who's going from carpenter to commercial GC leader. If you're stepping into leadership in construction (or helping someone who is), this episode lays out the exact resources and habits you need to thrive fast. You'll hear: A full breakdown of free tools, templates, books, and boards for field engineers and supers. The one mindset shift that turns learning into action. Jason's proven “Three Habits of a Builder” that separate great supers from overwhelmed ones. Why he's training ChatGPT to write with his voice and how it's changing the game for industry books. This episode is a real-time masterclass in humble leadership, resourcefulness, and how to grow into a role that scares you (in the best way).
When the project starts slipping and leadership refuses to plan, what do you do? In this raw, honest episode, Jason responds to a powerful message from a superintendent in Brazil caught in the middle of a $1M project with zero systems and a PM who believes planning is the problem. What follows is a masterclass in field leadership, mental resilience, and how to lead up when everything feels like it's falling apart. You'll hear: A clear, step-by-step strategy to get ANY project back on track. What to do right now when there's waste, rework, and no plan in sight. Why “just figure it out as we go” is a toxic excuse (and how to respond when that's the culture). A heartfelt reminder of why systems aren't just tools they're respect for the people who build. This is a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt stuck, unheard, or on the edge of burnout in construction leadership. If you've been told “that's just how it is,” this episode will remind you: it doesn't have to be.
