The Construction Leadership Initiative

/in , /by

Senior construction leaders must deliver unprecedented results in a demanding and competitive business climate. Meanwhile, their management teams must deliver according to schedule while keeping within budget. For senior leaders, a critical success factor for getting jobs done on time and cost effectively while maintaining a high level of quality is to help managers know and understand what is at stake from an executive perspective. Keeping managers, supervisors, or even workers in the dark means the crews will be oblivious to their part in the plan.

Market turns, sudden competitive or pricing pressures, mergers, acquisitions, key management turnover—any of these can throw even the best leadership teams off course. The consequences are rapid, and often brutal, resulting in lower productivity as the organization fumbles to get re-aligned on direction. This in turn creates a vacuum that is quickly and easily filled with competing priorities, inefficiency, and low employee morale. Without cohesive, current, and aligned strategies, the business becomes rudderless.

The Construction Leadership Initiative helps leaders align their business strategy with their people strategy from senior to middle management teams. This alignment promotes workforce commitment, which, in turn promotes business growth and positive transformation—and the ability to deliver the highest quality work in the quickest timeframe.
