In many snow, landscape, and service companies, operations fall apart when accountability isn’t clear. Missed details, inconsistent performance, and finger‑pointing lead to frustrated crews, upset clients, and owners who feel like they’re constantly putting out fires instead of improving their operation.

In this episode, veteran snow operations leader John Mocharko breaks down how to move from blame and breakdowns to a culture of accountability that strengthens your entire operation. He shares why true accountability starts before the first snowfall, through clear planning, agreed‑upon standards, and year‑round preparation that sets teams up for success.

You’ll learn how to:

• Build accountability into preseason planning and site expectations
• Set standards your team can understand, follow, and be measured against
• Create a workplace where people take ownership instead of making excuses
• Improve service quality by tightening your processes (not tightening the reins)

If you want to recruit the right people, train them well, and retain a crew you can trust, this conversation shows how accountability becomes the backbone of a Win/Win Workplace.
