You are an Emerging Leader:

You have been successful so far in project management, engineering, estimating, finance, or operations management. Now, your chief executive has made it clear that you have potential to become a senior executive, maybe even a future owner. Now that you have earned the confidence of the boss, their expectations of you will escalate rapidly. You need to keep up with your professional development.


You will need to do 3 things to move up from operational expert to senior executive:

  • Align yourself with your boss's values and thought processes
  • Navigate social changes, including challenges to your authority
  • Acquire strategic leadership skills

The Fool Proof Executive Program is Designed Exactly for You!

This program includes the training and support you will need to fulfill your future as a senior executive, partner, or business owner. It is a combination of leadership skills training and executive coaching to help you develop your own professional development career path. It has been created exactly to the specifications of construction business owners seeking to develop their next generation of leaders.
