Success Formula: Tour de Trades Field Manual
Direction x Action x Consistency

What separates the tradesmen who struggle from the ones who rise to leadership?
It isn't talent.
It isn't luck.
And it definitely isn't complicated.

Success in the trades follows a simple formula:
Direction x Action x Consistency

When one of these breaks down, results break down.

In this practical field manual for tradesmen, apprentices, and foremen, electrician and instructor David McCord introduces a powerful diagnostic tool that helps workers identify why progress stalls and how to get back on track.

This is a jobsite-tested framework designed for the real world of construction.

Whether you are: A new apprentice trying to stand outA journeyman preparing for leadershipA foreman building a stronger crewOr a contractor developing the next generationThis field manual gives you a simple system to diagnose problems, develop people, and produce results.
