Building Leaders

Ready to level up? Designed by AGC of Minnesota, Building Leaders is a high-impact, six-session leadership journey for experienced construction leaders who are looking to lead not only projects, but entire organizations. Whether you’re heading toward senior leadership or already influencing teams and culture, this program is built to sharpen your edge, strengthen your presence, and supercharge your impact.

Led by top-tier facilitators and industry experts, this experience goes beyond traditional training. You'll engage in immersive, practical sessions designed to expand your leadership toolkit and ignite long-term growth.

Why Building Leaders

You’re not just managing projects anymore—you’re helping shape the future of your company. Building Leaders is designed for professionals who are ready to grow into the next version of themselves and evolve as strategic, impactful team leaders. It’s for those who want to think beyond the day-to-day, build teams that trust, perform, and win together, and lead with purpose, clarity, and confidence. In a fast-changing construction industry, this program gives you the tools, support, and space to grow into the leader your team and company need.

What You’ll Learn

Through six transformative sessions, you’ll deepen your understanding of what it means to be the business—building trust, communicating with purpose, and leading with emotional intelligence. You’ll develop strategies for forming winning teams, leading meetings effectively, and creating a culture of safety, inclusion, and performance.

You’ll also explore timely industry topics like construction claims strategies, risk management, bonding, cybersecurity, and leading diverse teams. With interactive activities, accountability partners, and practical tools for real-world leadership, you’ll leave this program ready to lead at the next level—with confidence and clarity.
