Is workplace drama draining your energy and hurting performance? You’re not alone. But the good news is, there’s a way to fix it. Drama Free Management is an engineered collection of practices that lead from high drama and low performance to low drama and exciting results. Running a business is hard. As the great management thinker Peter Drucker said, "Only three things happen naturally in organizations: friction, confusion, and underperformance. Everything else requires leadership." Pete is naturally a high drama leader, which caused much past suffering. Marla is naturally a low drama leader, and a mentor to Pete and many others. This collection of practices are guaranteed to reduce drama, like a physical fitness regimen will increase strength, if applied consistently over time. If you're ready to take control, lead with confidence, and build a thriving team, this book is for you!

Pete Fowler Construction is now 25 years old. Going from zero to twenty team members was a fast and fun ride. But then it got tough; for a long time. Pete found out during those "seven years in the desert" that he was not (yet) the leader a larger, more mature organization needed. Around 10 years ago that re-education, including lots of mentorship, started paying dividends. Now Pete and one of his key mentors, Marla J. Noel, have compiled what he learned into the book Drama Free Management: The boring but important fundamentals. It's a collection of practices that lead from high drama and low performance to low drama and exciting results. Don’t just take our word for it—Business Management Blog's Nitesh Verma recently featured a review of the book! The review highlights how the book’s real-life examples and straightforward principles can transform your leadership approach. As Nitesh puts it, “embrace the 'boring but important' and watch your business thrive.” Check out the full review here: https://lnkd.in/gB6nYYTn Are you ready to transform your leadership style?

After a high-end candy store on the Las Vegas Strip faced renovation issues, they blamed the general contractor. Pete Fowler Construction was brought in to uncover the truth. Our team discovered that the issues were a result of the tenant’s poor contracting decisions, not the general contractor's work. Interested in how we have handled similar claims?
