In this episode, Jason explores why traditional corporate offices may be counterproductive for construction companies. Drawing from his experience with lean principles and examples from Japanese construction practices, Jason explains why offices often disconnect leadership from the field, hinder flow, and create bureaucracy.

• Why beautiful corporate offices can be anti-lean.
• How to restructure office space to support field operations.
• Using visual management, Kanban boards, and situational rooms for flow.
• The importance of proximity and hands-on leadership in construction.
