    Motivate Employees to Behave Like Construction Company Owners, Part 1

    Creating a culture of employees who think and act like owners can lead to amazing results, both financially and culturally. I am on a mission to eradicate entitlement. People with this mentality believe they deserve things because of who they are rather than what they do. It is my opinion that this mentality has been cultivated over several decades by lowering standards in schools (it is more important to feel smart than be smart) and eliminating the competitive element in games and sports (it is more important to feel like a winner than be one). The result is a workforce of some individuals who feel entitled to a work environment and compensation that is not equivalent to the work they perform. So, how do you, as a business owner, deal with this?

    Q: I’ve noticed some of my most reliable construction workers are not performing at top level. How should I handle this situation?

    Business today is a battle for victory, not simply survival. Playing to survive is not a winning game plan. If you have seen one of those great epic war movies like ‘Gladiator’ or ‘Braveheart,’ you will remember the early scenes when the armies are preparing for battle. The fearless general rides ahead, along with his top lieutenants, to scout out the enemy’s troop strength and position and to develop his leadership strategy. As an extraordinary leader, he knows that timing is everything and, therefore, comes to the conclusion that his army needs to move quickly and put his vision for victory into practice.
