Capable people can spend an hour in a meeting and leave without a decision. Effective leadership in construction requires a better meeting structure.

In this solo episode, Eric Anderton shares the process he's used with contractors for over 20 years to help teams reach agreement in about 30 minutes, even on problems they've debated for years.

Key takeaways:

• Frame a precise question with a 90-day deadline.
• Have everyone write ideas independently. The owner shares last.
• Vote for the best third of the ideas without stacking votes.
• Confirm commitment and address objections.
• Create a one-page action plan with clear priorities and numbers.
