Jason, you are amazing. I love your content, the delivery, and I can tell this is an advocation for you. What an inspiration!
Great Content! Thanks a lot!
Thank you for doing these videos.
I stumbled into becoming a project manager when I got into real estate. In 2019 we had issues with lending and pivoted into the remodeling business.
My brother and I structured a decent system and process over the last few years but I feel like we’re missing something. You don’t know what you don’t know.
I think I’m getting the hang of it, but managing 11 in house guys plus all my trade partners while keeping 10-15 projects running consecutively can be overwhelming at times. At least when you have no formal project management training.😅
I hope your videos are everything I’ve been looking for! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
I'd love to hear your thoughts about how to "police" a meeting. So often you'll get people starting to go off on tangents, and you've got to bring them back respectfully, sometimes that means interrupting them and saying the thing needs to be taken "off line" because the meeting is getting bogged down and everyone's starting to disengage.
One thing I've seen used before, but the whole company had to already know what this meant, was to have a rule that something could only be mentioned two times - once to explain the issue and have an initial discussion about it, and if it can't get resolved right away and the topic comes up again a second time, it gets assigned to someone and taken off-line so that it doesn't derail the rest of the meeting. Then if people start going back to that topic and debating a third time, everyone would start holding up two fingers as an indication "hey, we've already talked about this twice, we've assigned it and we're moving on". I wonder if there are other tips for respectfully cutting off branching tangents.
Finally, keeping an eye on the clock - we book a lot of one hour meetings, with a bunch of topics that we hope to cover, and 45 minutes in you're not even halfway through the topics. I always try to save the last 10 minutes of the meeting for a recap, as you talk about here, to make sure actions are assigned and everyone understands what they're supposed to go do. Sometimes that means amputating some of the topics in a meeting and pushing them to the next meeting. Curious to hear your thoughts on that.
Love the video series by the way.
I agree with all you have said. I am going to discuss this on the Elevate Construction podcast. The truth is we have to move people along and be firm when needed.
❤. Thank you Jason I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! BLESSINGS ❤
Thank you for your commitment
It'd be great to get your insight on conducting meetings with Owner, Architect (OAC). Do you allow the superintendent to take lead in that meeting? Does the PM lead the meeting? How transparent are you with the owner?
Great work thanks Jason
Jason, I read your book Elevate Construction, which helped me out a great deal as an Asst. Superintendent. That was a few years back, I’ve landed in Pre-Construction now as an Estimator. It’s great to put a face to the name. I listen to the podcast as well!
I am honored!
Love your videos, started watching them because Im trying to climb the company ladder. Foreman right now Looking to become a PM
I think we should review the last meeting content as the agenda, review the last action plan, update the results and new actions.
At the end of meeting, the minutes should be reviewed/ agreed by all members, then the minute can be shared right after the meeting.
Not sure if you agree with my comments.
thanks, lots of informative training.
Thank you
Good day Jason I've been watching your videos and they are amazing. I will be coming a superintendent soon from supervisor role and I'm kind of scared lol. The people have said that I can do it. I'm good with generic prints but not the large job prints so kind of scares me but I got people skills and the other skills that you're talking about but I am learning from you and I appreciate every step of the way thank you
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. I hope you do super well.
Do you know I’ve been watching your fabulous verbiage in regards to construction, making everything that I have learned in the 28 years I’ve been in construction even better now and I would only hope to talk to you in person let alone sit down with you because you are an intellect, and positivity will only hopefully bring more individuals to understand that the construction history is just for blue-collar,something that isn’t desirable everything you stated is exactly what it is. I appreciateI,I What do you have to bring to the table?
I am starting construction project management with a company where no woman has ever held a position of leadership. I do not have any experience in this field but was approached because they saw where my work ethic could be valuable in project management. How can I be taken seriously and be a leader over a team of 50 men?
Thanks for reaching out. I’m far more concerned about the lack of experience in this field than your gender. Am I understanding that right? You’ve not worked in construction before and now are tasked with leading a large crew? We have tons of resources for you; not to sound too self aggrandizing, but have you read our books or looked at our website? Any of that material will help prepare you to lead your team. Feel free to reach out to katies@elevateconstructionist.com if you’d like to continue the conversation; she may have some ideas of how to help you feel more confident as a woman in your role. Kabri Lehrman-Schmid at Hensel Phelps is someone to follow on LinkedIn. She’s a project leader and an activist for diversity and mental health-a personal hero of ours.

With CZcams premium I can listen your videos with the screen closed.
Can you go over a sales persons role and duties?
I like your stuff. Which of you books should I buy first
What role are you in?
@@jasonwilliamschroeder Project management/construction supervisor in a newer pool construction franchise. I made a pivot from managing an urgent care (and a couple of other healthcare roles) and manufacturing in the aerospace industry. Pool construction is a new area for me.
@@jasonwilliamschroeder it’s probably more accurate to call me a general foreman, even though I feel a bit disingenuous calling myself that right now. Imposter syndrome, lol
Can you make a video on the research scopes in construction management?
Can you give me a bit more detail?
Hi Jayson
Do you conduct webinars, or can you suggest construction project management webinars?
Great contents by the way. Greetings from Philippines
We do.
What are key questions that need to be asked in meetings to prevent conflicts in work sequence
1. What are we trying to accomplish?
2. How can we do it together?
3. What do you need to do your part?
4. Are you able to commit to this plan?
5. What help do you need?
Do you follow an agenda for a meeting?
Absolutely!
