Gary Button Most new leaders fail because no one taught them how to lead. I fix that. Blue-collar supervisors learn respect, confidence, and control — quickly.

Leadership isn’t about titles or authority — it’s about how you show up when the pressure’s on.

I’ve opened up a free Leadership Launchpad community for people who are stepping into leadership and want practical conversations about real situations: people issues, pressure, confidence, and decision-making.

No fluff. No selling. Just real leadership in real environments.

If that sounds useful, you’re welcome to join.

If you’re seeing inconsistency in the crew, it’s usually because the message has been inconsistent too.
Clarity beats charisma every time.

Ask:
“What does ‘done’ look like?”

Crew running in circles?
Nine times out of ten it’s unclear expectations.

Fast fix:
Set the outcome before the task.

Going from mate to manager is tough — but respect comes from consistency, not distance.

Use this boundary-setting line:
“I’ll be fair… but I won’t always say yes.”

Avoiding the conversation?
Avoidance always costs more than the actual chat.

Start simple:
“Here’s what I’m seeing… here’s what I need.”

Crew nodding along but still not doing what you asked?
It’s rarely attitude — it’s unclear instruction.

Try this line next time:
“Tell me the plan in your own words.”

Got a mate who’s just been promoted off the tools… and the boys are already testing him?

Or maybe you’ve felt it yourself:

“Some days it honestly feels like everyone’s just waiting for me to stuff it up.”

This video is for the bloke who’s suddenly running a crew…
trying to keep standards tight…
trying not to blow up…
and trying not to look like a pretender wearing someone else’s boots.

In the video, I break down:

• Why December is actually the best time to reset your leadership
• The mistakes new leaders make that quietly erode respect
• How to get the crew listening the first time (without being a sergeant)
• What to fix now so you start next year calm, confident and in control

If you’ve got a mate stepping up — tag him.
If this hits home for you — watch it.

No judgement.
No pressure.
Just real tools for real blokes stepping into real leadership.

Short fuse? Feeling reactive?
It’s usually a sign you're holding something in.

Use this reset line:
“Can we reset and get back on track?”

Avoiding a tough chat doesn’t make things better — it just makes your authority weaker.
Use a clean, simple frame:
Issue → Impact → Next step.
You’ll walk out of the convo lighter, not sweating bullets.

If your team waits for you to think, decide, approve, and fix everything…
Congratulations — you’ve accidentally trained them to stop thinking.

Shift it.
Ask: “What do YOU think we should do?”
Let them build the muscle.

When the boys keep “doing it their way,” it’s rarely disrespect — it’s a lack of clarity.
Good leaders don’t guess. They check understanding.
Use the line: “Repeat back what the plan is.”
Game changer.

DM LAUNCH to get the Mates-to-Manager Checklist.
