Many construction leaders know what good leadership looks like—but somewhere between deadlines, travel, and constant problem-solving, those fundamentals slip. This month's book recommendation is a 117-page leadership reminder titled The Way of the Shepherd by Dr. Kevin Leman and Bill Pentak.
This episode speaks directly to leaders who feel stretched thin, disconnected from their teams, or stuck in firefighting mode and want to regain clarity, control, and purpose.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- How a simple leadership reminder can dramatically improve trust, communication, and engagement on your team
- A practical framework for truly understanding your people beyond their job titles
- Why great leaders repeat values and mission far more than they think they should—and how it drives performance
If you want to lead your construction team with more focus, purpose, and control—without adding complexity—press play and discover why this short book delivers massive leadership impact.
Thank you to Dave Reichert, Ray Hayles, and Josh Hendrickson for the recommendation in the years 2017, 2024, and 2026, respectively.
