About this listen

Leadership in the blue-collar world isn’t about fancy titles or sitting in a corner office—it’s about rolling up your sleeves, leading from the front, and earning respect through action. Leading With Grit is a no-nonsense guide to blue-collar leadership, built on real-world experience, resilience, and the unwavering commitment to purpose-driven leadership.

This book dives deep into what it truly takes to lead in industries where hard work, determination, and teamwork define success. It explores the core principles of effective leadership, from developing trust and communication to driving engagement and fostering a culture of accountability. It also addresses the challenges unique to blue-collar work—handling resistance to change, balancing strategy with execution, and navigating the evolving landscape of technology and workforce expectations.

With powerful lessons, practical strategies, and real-world stories, Leading With Grit equips leaders with the tools to not only manage but inspire. Whether you’re an experienced leader or an emerging one, this book will help you build a legacy of strong leadership, resilient teams, and a workplace where people take pride in what they do. Because in the blue-collar world, leadership isn’t just about telling people what to do—it’s about showing them what’s possible.
