PCCA Leadership Development Program
8 am - 4 pm
PCCA continues its efforts to advance
the leadership skills of its members
with another full-day session of the
PCCA Leadership Development
Program (LDP). 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.
Session two in Aruba is on Executive Communication with
these sections: Elements of Communications, Communication
Styles, Tools for Effective Communication, Structured
Communications: Conducting Successful Meetings, Effective
Delegation, and Making the 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.
