Burnout. Staff churn. Chasing defects. A team that only works when you're standing over it. Dan from One Thousand Feet Deep says none of those are the real problem — they're the cracks that show up when a building business has no foundation under it.
Dan joins Az as co-host for this one, tackling real questions pulled from past episodes with some of Australia's top builders, Kyle Zanetto (Zanetto Builders), Tony Gall (Creation Homes), James Stroud (Stroud Homes) and Peter Wood (Avid Property Group).
What's covered: • The first cracks that appear when you're working in the business, not leading it • Why sales, cashflow and retention are byproducts — not targets • "Structurally sound" vs "momentarily stable" — the hit-by-a-bus test for your business • Tensions to manage vs problems to solve (and why you can't fix a tension) • The four steps that make hard conversations professional, not personal: set the expectation, empower the outcome, measure the results, hold people accountable • What the Penrith Panthers and Toyota can teach a building company about culture
Dan's take is simple: you're not a builder of homes, you're a builder of people who build homes.
