With over thirty years in the construction industry, I have had the opportunity to participate in multiple “leadership” training presentations and programs. The one thing that bothers me to this day is that although the material was very good, there remains a problem that most of the attendees were not equipped to use the resources they were provided.
In the competitive market that exists today, I think most business owners and managers would agree that their people are both their biggest asset and at the same time, their biggest liability. That being said, why is it that more money is invested in equipment, operations and facilities than in developing their people?
Being a student of leadership development for over thirty years, I have concluded that there is a progression that our great leaders have gone through. This progression will maximize potential and result in a leader that will develop those beneath him to strengthen the overall structure of the organization.
I call this “The 5 Pillars of Influential Leadership.” I will briefly describe each of the pillars below and suggest that although there is overlap in the progression, the maximum return on each pillar is connected to success in the previous pillars.
