AGC of Minnesota has partnered with management consulting firm Wipfli, LLP to create a unique construction oriented executive leaders’ development program. Executive Circle serves executive owners, taking them offline and away from working in their business, and redirecting their focus to working on their business.
Six intense modules, delivered over six months, explore various aspects of transformational leadership including Leadership, Vision, People, Communication, Operations, and Technology. Tina Nazier, Wipfli’s National Construction and Real Estate Organizational Performance Strategy Leader, guides participants through a highly interactive and participatory exchange. “Circlers” build trust relationships among peers, gain strategic knowledge, and hone their skills by working together to apply strategies and tactics to help drive transformational change into their business. Cross-discipline (building/highway) learning and project partner (general and specialty contractors) perspectives are shared and discussed from a partnering perspective as viewed through the project owner lens.
The ideal Executive Circle candidate is an executive owner or top management decision maker within the business. The program adheres to the AGC of Minnesota Antitrust Policy.
“The AGC Executive Circle is a great educational program that also provides invaluable peer networking. You can’t find another high-level management course that is comparable in Minnesota.”
– Dave Lyste, Vice President, Rachel Contracting
