Avoiding the Peter Principle – Field Succession, A Coming Challenge
During this upcoming seminar during MBI's Annual Construction Industry Convention & Expo, recognize and grow the next generation of field leaders within your company! Leadership can exist at all levels beginning with the first day of hire to help field supervision achieve corporate and project goals. Recruiting from outside the firm is not always the most successful way to build your team. There are acres of diamonds within each company and on every project wanting to advance to the next step in their career. Save time, money and effort developing the best from within. This seminar is being held on Tuesday February 21st, from 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm and will be taught by Charles Cook of R.S. Cook & Associates from Southeaster, PA.
