## Resource

In this episode, Jason dives into what it really takes to promote the right people on a construction project. He explains why clean, safe, and organized job sites, combined with the ability to train and lead, are non-negotiable for anyone moving into a leadership role. What you'll learn in this episode: Why problems belong to the team, not individuals. The critical skills leaders must demonstrate before being promoted. How stagnation can derail projects and teams. The importance of ongoing growth and continuous learning. How to implement gates to ensure only capable leaders advance. Are your promotions based on true leadership skills, or just tenure and habit?
