In this episode, Jason explains why trade partner participation before the pull plan is one of the clearest indicators of future project performance. If a trade partner won't complete the pull plan homework ahead of time, Jason argues that you already know how they will show up during the project, in meetings, material handling, prefab coordination, communication, and overall reliability.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• The difference between Pull Planning 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0.
• Why pull plan homework predicts future trade partner performance.
• How weak leadership creates poor trade participation.
• Why pre-construction processes are really interviews for project behavior.
• How early warning signals can save a project months later.
• Why accountability and respect must work together in leadership.
• How the contracting and onboarding phases shape project success.

Are your trade partners proving they're ready before the project starts or revealing future problems you're ignoring?
