He asserts that in order to create a successful project, you must have the full involvement of every team member, and that begins with making personal connections. Drawing on examples from his own experience, as well as insights from his books, The Fixer and Patton: A Pattern for Superintendents, Jason emphasizes that the morning worker huddle is the cornerstone of establishing that connection. It\u2019s not just about giving orders, it's about creating a space for workers to see, know, and act as a team. Jason goes on to call out those who downplay the significance of the morning worker huddle, stressing that without connection, you cannot have participation, and without full participation, there\u2019s no way to achieve a truly lean project.&amp;nbsp; What you\u2019ll learn in this episode:  Why total participation is impossible without total connection. The importance of the morning worker huddle in building that connection. How human connection drives project success and leads to lean practices. Why disrespecting the morning huddle undermines collaboration and project outcomes. The role of effective communication and team-building in a successful construction project.  What\u2019s standing in the way of getting everyone on your project to fully participate? Could it be a lack of real connection?
