Leadership in construction

What this course covers

The best hand on the crew gets made foreman, and about half the time it goes badly — because nobody told them the job changed. Being responsible for other people's work, safety, and morale is a different skill than being good with your hands. This course is about making that jump without losing the crew or yourself.
