PCCA Leadership Development Program
8 am - 4 pm
To further advance the
leadership skills of its
members, PCCA kicks off its
new Leadership Development
Program (LDP) with a full-day
session at the 2014 convention.
FMI and a group of PCCA-member contractors and
associates have developed course material that is not only
construction-industry specific, but is also customized using
PCCA’s subject matter experts and examples specific to power
and communication construction. The PCCA/FMI team
is creating a course curriculum that includes six one-day
modules to be delivered each year at the convention.
Session one in St. Thomas will be a Leadership Overview with
these sections: Trends in Construction, Knowing When to Lead
vs. Manage, Improving Your Leadership Skills, Why We Do What
We Do (examining your own management and life styles), and
Making the Personal Commitment: Your Action Plan.
LDP is an ongoing learning experience with action planning
and follow-up for each session to reinforce the concepts
presented and to encourage the practical implementation of
the techniques and skills when participants get back on the
job. Each session will include Personal
Action Plans with accountability,
a Performance Tool sent three
months after the session, a
touchpoint at the Mid-
Year Meeting, and a
conference call nine
months after the
session.
Every LDP session will feature interaction with an
experienced industry executive, usually a PCCA Past President.
Each session will also include an industry trends overview,
which will include a section from FMI on the general
economy, the overall construction industry, and PCCA-specific
trends as seen from the perspective of contractor and associate
members.
The primary audience for the Leadership Development
Program is the younger professional, but the program will
benefit anyone interested in growing his or her leadership
capabilities, regardless of age.
$500 per person, includes all educational materials, professional
instructor, breakfast and lunch on Friday, an invitation to Friday night’s
VIP reception, and breakfast on Saturday.
