Ep.1399 - Strategic Leadership, Feat. Mark Story

Strategy That Actually Works: Real Talk with Mark Story

How do you build smarter, lead stronger, and deliver better projects without burning out your team?

In this game-changing episode, Mark Story joins Jason Schroeder to unpack the real meaning of strategy in construction and spoiler alert: it’s not just about scheduling. From staffing and logistics to trust and team alignment, Mark shares the powerful, practical mindset that elite builders use to lead successful projects from the ground up.

Inside this episode:

• Why in-person, hands-on training still wins (and how to get leaders to prioritize it).

• The question every PM and Super should ask: “What do you need?”.

• How to build trust fast with trade partners and unlock full team performance.

• Why strategy means thinking beyond the org chart and designing teams and workflows based on what the project actually needs.

• How to hold teams accountable only after you’ve created the conditions for success.

If you’ve ever struggled with communication breakdowns, low team morale, or disjointed project planning, this episode will shift how you think and lead.
