Description
Landscaping crews share operational DNA with NASCAR pit crews, where winning comes from preparation, clarity, and systems instead of hustle alone. You'll see how one company achieved a 25.4% reduction in morning indirect time by implementing a 20-minute nightly pit-stop routine, staging tools consistently, and using laminated cards to set clear pre-dispatch standards. This session, taught by Grow Group and McFarlin Stanford executive coach Tracy Wallingford and president of emi landscape Bob Marks, shows how assigning one primary role per crew member eliminates confusion, why speed without systems creates chaos, and how small gains like saving 15 minutes per day add up to 50 hours per year per employee.
