(Scroll down for schedule and nomination forms)
A major benefit to AGC of Minnesota members is the opportunity to enroll in AGC's professional development series for the emerging leaders in construction management!
Created in 2014, The Leadership Blueprint is designed to elevate each participant into a solid advocate of their firm. The program will include a very active and robust combination of presenting, conversation, group exercises and individual practices. The Leadership Blueprint will be anchored by SagePresence.
The class exercises, tied to real life experiences, will stretch and equip students with added confidence and lifelong skills. Under the leadership of SagePresence, the Blueprint will focus on:
- Productive networking
- Professional presence
- Storytelling skills
- Adapting to personalities
- Leading productive meetings
- Presenting back
Rounding out the individualized and group learning will be sessions on construction industry topics presented by local experts. Topics will cover construction safety, labor and legal issues, mental health suicide prevention & gatekeeper training, current legislative topics, construction claims essentials and managing project flow.
Nuts and Bolts:
The series begins in November of each year and ends in April the following year. The first five sessions are held Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, once per month, outside the Twin Cities. The sixth session includes the graduation reception and will be held in the Twin Cities area.
The Leadership Blueprint is limited to 22 participants, and all students must be employed by an AGC member firm.
Leadership Blueprint Leaders are:
- Early in their commercial construction career.
- Eager to become an accomplished communicator who can get more done with people on their side.
- Looking to be an excellent meeting organizer and leader.
- Seeking good interpersonal and networking skills.
Participants must be nominated for the course and tuition covers the consulting fee, hotel and meals.
