Workforce Rewind – Delegation, The Thin Line Between Success and Failure

As the head coach of the Roofing Academy, founder of Elite Roofing, author of Start It, Build It, Grow It: The Contractor’s Guide to Success and the host of the Start, Build, Grow Podcast, Randy Brothers has spent 15 years building his own businesses and educating others to reach their potential. Randy has grown his own company by over 12x in eight years.

Going back to the inaugural episode of the Mobile Workforce Podcast, Randy shares the importance of delegation in the growth and success of a contractor’s business. He also shares the processes and mindset that delegation requires to be profitable on the job site.

Key Takeaways:

1. Investing in your people adds value to your company. Investing in employees will only increase the value of your business. When you invest in someone, that person will immediately feel essential and engaged, and their loyalty and productivity will increase.
2. As a business owner, you need to give in order to get. As entrepreneurs and business owners, contractors have a unique opportunity to positively impact and develop their team members. The best leaders don’t hinder growth by only thinking about what they’ll get in return. When construction leaders support their people growing as individuals and expanding their skill sets, the ROI comes back many times over in the long run.
3. Success is not a one-person show. Sustainable revenue is only achieved when the entire team buys into the vision of the organization. A one-person show is not sustainable, and the business’s growth ceiling is low. But together you can go far.
