Welcome to Home Building!

Happy Tuesday, Reader!

Have you ever had a situation where you made a decision concerning a home your company is building - only to have it overturned by someone who is higher up your corporate ladder?

If you haven't, kudos to you and your Company; however, I'm betting that you've seen something like this happen (or WILL see it happen in the future).

I've definitely seen it in my career. Several times, my decisions were overturned by a boss (who, in my case, was my father). It's a bit deflating and I never liked it.

As I thought more about it, though, I recognized that I was guilty of doing the same thing to my Superintendents at times, too. So, I should have taken some time to consider what my actions were doing to them.

Maybe wisdom does come with age, so I'm hoping you'll find some value in this week's article. See the link below.

Have a great week!
