Learn from decades of hands-on leadership in the pest management industry how to grow yourself, lead others, and manage with confidence so you can build stronger teams, healthier cultures, and long-term success.
Most pest control leaders think the toughest part of the job is technical. Routes, growth, customer problems. But ask any manager what really keeps them up at night and the answer is clear: people.
Communication, accountability, culture, conflict, leadership - these are the challenges that make or break a team.
That’s why Kevin Lemasters created the PCO Leader Academy. With 25+ years in the industry, Kevin went from technician to top leader and coach.
Now, through bite-sized micro lessons, practical tools, and real-world stories, he gives you what it really takes to lead. In a 2-Pass Bundle, you’ll first learn how to lead yourself — then how to lead others with systems that drive results without losing sight of the people who make it possible.
Designed for both individual learning and team-based training, this series makes it easy to grow together. From the Peace Index to the Support-Challenge Matrix, Kevin shows you how to build accountability, sharpen communication, manage the numbers, and shape a culture that lasts.
If you’re ready to stop managing in survival mode and start leading with clarity, confidence, and influence, PCO Leader Academy is your next step.
Kevin is truly different – he knows the bug business inside and out! Working with Kevin is like starting at second base or maybe even third.
