Leading a successful construction business requires more than luck; top leaders must continually improve in areas like operational excellence, talent development and cultivation, and strategic thinking to ensure long-term success. This program will equip aspiring and existing leaders with the skills needed to transition from daily tactics to long-term planning - bringing better results to all.

Whether small or large, residential or commercial, or if you're an electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or general contractor—safe companies share several key characteristics.

Tom VanderLinden of ABC of Iowa will dive into the topics and start the difficult conversations we need to be having about safety in 2025 and beyond. Are you satisfied with status quo, or are you willing to find out what it takes to “Do Better & Be Better?”
