"The Accidental Leader"
There will always be natural leaders; those who almost have it in their blood. But, in the world of business, effective managers are usually not born, they are developed through a conscious commitment to develop the skills and processes to effectively hire and manage employees.
Unfortunately, many construction business owners are accidental leaders: business owners who came to the role of business owner as skilled tradesmen, but who have not developed the necessary "people" skills to be effective managers.
- Did you become a leader by default? With no preparation or training?
- Is the leadership role uncomfortable (or frustrating, maddening, a mystery, etc.)?
- Are people problems holding your business back?
If you said "Yes" to any of these, this event is for you.
Managing people is a skill like any other: It requires training and practice. In this action-oriented program, participants will learn:
- How to lead, inspire, and reassure employees, in good times and bad
- How to develop skills to recruit, train, motivate and retain a world-class team of professionals you can count on.
The focus of this program is not on a temporary fix, but on encouraging participants to take practical steps toward building leadership on a solid foundation. By offering solid content and a plan for practical application, participants will continue to gain from the presentation long after the initial glow subsides.
The Accidental Leader can be delivered as a keynote address, breakout session, or half/full-day workshop customized to suit your group's needs.
Why Contractors Work Too Hard and Earn Too Little:
Contractors are notorious for building businesses around themselves. Convinced they are essential to the moment-by-moment operation of every aspect of their business, their firms only provide them an underpaid job. Owner dependent firms also have limited growth potential and are difficult to sell.
Break Out of the "Owner Operator" Trap and Build a Stand-Alone Business
Why Contractors Work Too Hard and Earn Too Little is a powerful program that will help contractors break free of the "owner operator" mindset and embark on the path to create a stand-alone business. The benefits are tremendous:
- Creates more money and requires less of the owner's time
- The owner can be absent and the business runs effectively
- Provides owners with lower stress/better health
- Develops equity and can be sold
- Can be scaled up to achieve greater revenues
- Can be passed to children/family/others

Attendees will challenge their perspective of their role as business owners and learn how successful, stand-alone contractor firms manage and build their businesses. The program will provide solid content and a plan for practical application. Attendees will focus on taking the first practical steps toward building a business on a solid foundation.
