A sociopath, a narcissist, a compulsive liar, two drama queens, two alcoholics walk into a rehab.  Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, doesn’t it?  What did all of these personality traits have in common? They all represented at least one or more people in one of my contractors’ team. 

Supplies aren’t delivered on time, work crew not on the job site, projects not completed as promised, Valspar paint buckets filled with Wal Mart paint, multiple colors on the wall, tens of thousands of dollars in delays and repairs.  And to make matters worse, I fired the contractor 6 months later than I should have and I had to finish the rest of the work myself.

This is a text book case of how NOT to manage contractors.  I really messed this one up and it cost me a lot of $$$.   

The good news is that not all contractors are like this.  Some are great business people with a great crews.  So how do you find and manage a stellar contractor team?
