The last few years have been a gongshow to say the least. Allow me to possibly describe your situation. You’re a construction worker who was listed as “essential” during the pandemic. You gave your all, you can’t work from home. You’re a parent who works tirelessly to make sure the spouse and kids have food on the table and a couple Under Armor sweaters. You’re a person who takes pride in getting your hands dirty. You don’t mind getting dust in your eyes to turn around and see what you accomplished that day. You’ve got some grit, you’re not afraid to jump in the mud hole to get the job done. You’re relatively happy with your career choice. But something is missing. You get paid good money, but something isn’t adding up. You may not feel respected or that anyone cares about the huge amount of effort you put in. There’s a void. You feel like you aren’t living up to your full potential.
Throughout my 10 years in residential and commercial construction I’ve had the opportunity to work with some outstanding people, but even more miserable people, and it got me thinking all the time, why are they so miserable? A lot of trades people are seen as expendable, like they don’t matter, like they aren’t paid to think. We are made to break that toxic mindset.
Bad Leader was made by tradespeople for tradespeople. Bad Leader is a community of trades masters coming together to keep the trades alive, keep the trades healthy, keep the trades improving. We exist to develop people into the best version of themself at work, but more importantly at home.
We need to lead ourselves and the next generation differently than our previous blue collar generations. We need to lead with authenticity and lead with grit. We need to lead with vulnerability and lead with discipline.
Bad Leader can help you get to the next level. Bad Leader is designed to develop your personal life and your construction career. You work too hard and put too many hours in to work on yourself. You’re wiped at the end of the day. We are here to change that mindset. We will have blogs, videos and other content on communication, time management, discipline, money management and more! Improve as much or as little as you want, when you want to. Born out of a passion to see construction workers respected for who they are as much as what they produce.
So take the step. Do you want to take your career to the next level? Do you want to be the way you are 10 years from now? Do you want your kids to be proud of the person you are? The industry has more opportunities today than ever before. Are you going to chase the storm or run from it? Are you ready to take control of your construction career and build your potential? Follow along with Bad Leader today and don’t miss out on the resources that can help you thrive in life.
I’ll see you in the pit!
