Event Description

Description

 

You don’t learn leadership in trade school—but once you’re running a crew, managing subs, or running a job site, leadership is exactly what’s expected of you. This hands-on, full-day leadership boot camp is built for construction professionals who want to get better at leading people, not just projects.

 

You’ll walk away with practical tools to manage your crew with confidence, reduce conflict, build trust, and create a work culture where people show up, step up, and stick around. Whether you’re a lead hand, foreperson, or construction business owner, this course is designed to help you lead by example and build high-performing, respectful teams—without the fluff.

Workshop Challenges Addressed

· What leadership looks like on a jobsite or in the shop

· Building trust, confidence, and accountability in your crew

· Setting the tone: coaching, managing performance, and modeling respect

· Reducing turnover by creating a work environment people want to stay in

· Developing your own leadership style that reflects your values

Learning Objectives

· Understand what makes a great leader in the trades—not just in theory, but on the job

· Build a strong team culture where people know what’s expected and step up

· Learn practical skills to handle conflict, give feedback, and hold people accountable

· Attract and keep the right people by being a leader they want to work with

· Lead with respect, integrity, and consistency—no matter how tough the day gets
