Advice for a new Maintenance Manager? 7 ways I've seen leaders fail

I’ve been in maintenance for 15 years and spent the last 8 as a supervisor and now a manager. Your advice is gold. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Joe, I've been playing this video back listening again and again. I'm a maintenance guy finally interviewing for manager spots outside my current company. I like your perspective

Amazing how in only 7 points can give you a great feedback about how to be a good manager and above all a good leader.

Thank you Joe. Great information here. I am 25 years in with a mixture of maintenance industry experience and have landed a position as as Maintenance Director at a 4 star hotel. I am looking for the same 30 to 60 day project to lay to rest. This is exactly how I wanted to start and I feel validated that you came up with the same vision. I have a Maintenance Supervisor that knows that facility backwards and forwards but seems to need some leadership to push the department into bigger and better things. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching your other videos.

My mistakes were mine alone and the wins all belonged to the team. Leadership 101. My teams were very small and I spent most of my time working with them. Never had a problem with anyone who worked with me every day including the other managers (production, QC, etc). I mostly reported to people that I rarely saw and didn’t understand me. You nailed it though. 👍🏼🇺🇸

I just found this video! I'm a new operations manager overseeing the Facilities maintenance at a huge school district in South bend Indiana! I have a background in building management and maintenance management but this role totally new to me and a little overwhelming but exciting and challenging at the same time. Thanks for the great advice!

This was some very great advice. I just went from senior controls Engineer to a maintenance manager of 24 people and it seems like a mountain of work. I really need to learn to delegate since I was always the guy they called to fix the problems.

Thank you very much for informative video. I am a leaser of an apartment and this is a very educational prospective for understanding what renters need to know about it all. Thanks again.

I would like to hear from you how a typical working day is and the best tools/softwares/hacks (e.g., task manager) to improve efficiency

This is sage advice, much appreciated. It's motivational to hear it, and absorb what you are saying.

perfect honest advices Joe!

Thanks. Love it. I love experience based advice.

Thank you. I feel like I'm on the right track. Great advice.
