EP 07 | 10 C's of Effective Field Leadership with Joe Doherty

Episode 07 | The 10 C’s of Effective Field Leadership with Joe Doherty What does it take to lead a jobsite well, day after day? In Episode 07 of the Old Dawg Leadership Podcast, Adam Hoots and Mike Chiles sit down with Joe Doherty, General Superintendent with Cornerstone Construction and Development, to talk about field leadership, developing people, and the 10 C’s of Effective Field Leadership Joe has built throughout his career in construction. Joe developed the 10 C’s after being asked to put into words the practices behind his successful projects. What started as a few ideas eventually became a framework for how superintendents can lead their teams, manage the work, and deliver results. The first five focus on the daily practices of leadership: • Create the plan • Communicate the plan • Control the environment • Clear the path • Collaborate with the team The next five focus on the outcomes and responsibilities leaders are working toward: • Complete on time • Contain costs • Continuously improve • Check your ego • Command the standard Throughout the conversation, Joe shares lessons from decades in the field about recognizing every person’s contribution, removing roadblocks for your team, continuously finding better ways to work, and understanding that the job is bigger than any one person. As Joe puts it, “If you don’t enforce a standard, you’ve actually lowered the standard.” 🎙️ Old Dawg Leadership Podcast Real leaders with real lessons learned. Direct, practical, and no bullshido.
