"My biggest ah-ha moment is when you open your eyes one day and realize that the people you've surrounded yourself with didn't have your best interest in mind"
This week's guest is my closest friend, Matt McDaniel, General Manager, Pavement Surface Control (PSC). PSC is a family owned business that specializes in highway and road construction services including the placement and moving of concrete barriers, to striping parking lots. PSC also provides flagging services for road projects, pavement maintenance, and they've installed many of the highways signs you pass every day.
Matt has had to learn how to navigate leadership principles and his own development in the business in recent years and it hasn't come without challenge.
Listen to Matt as he explains how he's worked through his own personal growth and leading from the front.
On communication....."I've expected people to think I'm making the best decisions, but by not sharing the things that we're doing, it has created challenges."
"I was expecting people to trust me but I didn't communicate"
On leading with emotion...."it's hard to let things go but I have learned that you can't fix what has already happened, and you've got to go forward with what you've got."
