Overview

Welcome to the Built for the Trades Podcast! In this episode we’re diving into three powerful steps to cultivate success in the team members you lead. At Built for the Trades, we believe that leadership isn’t just a position—it’s who you are. Whether you own a business, manage a business, or simply want to grow as a leader, you’re in the right place. Today, we’ll cover three key areas: anticipate it, articulate it, and reinforce it. I’ll share lessons learned from my own career, like how I limited a technician’s growth by not believing in his potential. Remember, your team will only rise to the level of your expectations. So let’s dive in and learn how to set ambitious goals, communicate confidence, and consistently support our team’s success.

Discussions

1. Anticipate Success: Discuss the importance of having a positive and ambitious outlook for your team members. Explain how leaders’ expectations can influence the performance and growth of their team.

1. Articulate Confidence: Highlight the power of verbalizing belief in your team’s abilities. Share strategies for effectively communicating confidence and setting clear expectations.

Leadership is all about the mindset and actions you bring to the table. Remember, anticipate the success of your team members, articulate your confidence in them, and consistently reinforce those positive expectations. By doing so, you’ll not only elevate their performance but also foster a culture of growth and achievement within your organization. Thank you for tuning in to the Built for the Trades Podcast.
