Leadership Development
One of the greatest challenges is ongoing development of current and successor managers and supervisors to prepare for the leadership challenges that are unique to the building materials industry. Sociologic shifts require redefinition of our work cultures. Market conditions shift as national competitors expand to our hometowns. Workers thrust into new supervisory roles must immediate shift from personal task performance to the direction and motivation of others.
