510 :: The 7 Construction Leadership Lessons From Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour

I know, I know. 

You’re probably too cool to watch Taylor Swift’s docu-series on Netflix about her Eras Tour.

But, if you want to see great leadership in action during a nearly two-year movable construction project, watching Taylor in action might be one of the best decisions you make this year.

If you’ve ever tried to keep crews engaged, schedules intact, quality high, and burnout low while margins are tight and pressure is relentless, you already understand the challenge Taylor Swift solved. 

Her Eras Tour wasn’t entertainment—it was a $2 billion, multi-year, zero-cancellation logistics operation. This episode breaks down exactly how her leadership principles translate to construction job sites, teams, and executives.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The seven leadership behaviors that kept a massive operation running smoothly under extreme pressure
• How clear standards, preparation, and generosity directly impact execution and retention
• Why the best construction leaders obsess over experience, not just outcomes

Hit play to discover how elite leadership—not talent, not luck—is what allows massive projects to run calmly, profitably, and with teams that actually want to stay.
