EPISODE Notes

People don’t leave jobs – they leave bosses and opportunities. As your building company grows, your biggest challenge isn’t finding good people, it’s keeping them aligned and pulling in the same direction instead of operating like individual contractors under one roof.

Join Owen Chambers for the final part of the Builder to Business Owner series as he reveals the Four Ds of CEO leadership: Dollars, Decibels, Discipline, and Direction. Discover how to create a Same Page Plan that gets your entire team rowing in the same direction, why PSR (Problem-Solution-Recommendation) should be a core company value, and how high standards naturally move poor performers out while attracting A-players who want to be part of something bigger.

Learn why your vision must be large enough to fit everyone else’s dreams inside it, and how successful builders transition from managing tasks to leading people toward a compelling future.

About Your Hosts

Too many building company owners work long hours for very little profit, aren’t able to spend time with their families, and are stressed to the limit.

This is not your fault.

You can be the best builder in the world but trade school doesn’t teach you how to run a business.

This is why we created The Professional Builder.

Gaining control over your business doesn’t need to be hard.

Our proven systems have been used by 5,000+ builders from New Zealand, Australia, USA, UK, Canada, and all around the world to get back their freedom.
