The construction industry stands at a pivotal moment. Labor shortages, burnout, and evolving workforce expectations demand more than incremental change—they require a redefinition of leadership itself.
New research, the 2025 Building Better: Rethinking Leadership in Construction report, reveals that most leadership development efforts aren’t preparing people for what the industry actually needs right now.
In this interactive and engaging webinar, Ambition Theory founder and CEO, Andrea Janzen, will break down the data and show you what’s working—and what’s not—when it comes to building strong leaders in construction and program management. You’ll learn:
- The #1 reason leadership pipelines are stalling out (and how to fix it).
- Why mentorship isn’t enough—and what sponsorship makes possible.
- What rising talent actually wants from leadership development.
- A proven model that’s helping high-potential professionals step up and lead.
This webinar is packed with insights construction managers can put into practice right away—and it also introduces a continuing education opportunity you’ll want to know about. The NAWIC Leadership Academy, designed for women in construction, is approved for CCM renewal points (RP) and is already transforming how companies grow their next generation of leaders.
If you care about building better teams, better outcomes, and a better future for the industry—this webinar is for you.
