Leadership in Construction Workshop

On every project, effective leadership is the key to successfully meeting overall project goals. AGC's Leadership in Construction Workshop was designed and developed by constructors — for constructors.

Through a series of personal assessment tools (including a CheckPoint 360 Evaluation), team projects, and instruction by field experienced constructors, this dynamic three day workshop allows participants to expand their leadership skill set and build confidence for continued growth.

Participants will:

  • Identify their personal leadership style through a series of personal assessments, including a 360 evaluation
  • Examine the principles of leadership and discuss strategies to implement them with co-workers in the field and/or office
  • Compare the difference between management and leadership and learn to distinguish qualities of each
  • Examine and demonstrate an effective model for conflict resolution
  • Map an action plan for continued personal and professional growth
  • Participate in various group activities and assignments to reinforce concepts covered in presentations and discussions
