About this listen
STOP THE CHAOS. START LEADING.
Budget blowups, fuzzy plans, tough clients—those aren’t the root cause. Jobs go sideways when nobody takes the helm.
In The Hard Hat Truth, builder, estimator, and consultant Mark Zitting cuts through the noise and names the real culprits:
- Owners hooked on “low bid” who pay for it later.
- Architects and engineers drawing in theory, not in reality.
- GCs who manage calendars instead of leading people.
- Subs who win on price and lose on performance.
The blame game is loud. Results are quiet.
This is a field manual, not a TED Talk. Zitting distills 30+ years of hard lessons into simple, actionable moves: align early, plan with facts, schedule through conversations, document decisions, and lead with clarity when things get messy.
It’s direct. It’s practical. It’s the wake-up call the industry needs.
If you’re tired of missed dates and money left on the slab, grab this book. Listen to it. Use it. Share it.
Because when pressure hits, apps won’t save you—leadership will. And at day’s end, blueprints don’t build buildings. Leaders do.
