Construction Leadership Development Program Overview
The Well Works Leadership Development Program (WWLDP) is an online training program built to equip front-line construction leaders with tools and information to efficiently and effectively communicate with and lead our project teams in our demanding and fast-paced industry.
It is a high-quality, coach-led, online program delivered in bite-sized micro-learning blocks. This 12-week program is specifically built using first-hand construction experience to work with our hectic schedules (not against them) by providing actionable resources relevant to everyday construction challenges without ever having to leave the job site.
Crew members further cement (retain and apply) the content through a weekly, industry coach-led, live-video discussion with 5-10 other industry members (cohort).
We offer Invoicing, Custom Cohort Packages, and Enterprise Packages too!
What past crew members are saying
"We are challenged to manage these projects, but really what we are doing is leading a team. Leadership is not something I ever thought of as a learned skill but the first take away from the program for me was that leadership is most definitely a skill that can be learned, improved upon, and requires constant evaluation and training to be better; no different than our efforts at scheduling, writing RFI’s, or managing safety & stormwater. The program introduces and familiarizes the participant with the why’s and how’s of leadership, starting with the individual through the team. Week by week it builds from the foundations of leadership through the practice of leadership, daily, on our projects. From understanding what is important to us and how we currently lead, to how to better lead and influence those teams we are entrusted with."

What Type of Content is Covered in the well works leadership development program?
The program is broken down into four quarters, each consisting of 3-weeks:
Quarter 1: The Structure and Overviews (Division 1)
An introduction to the different construction leadership styles, redefining intelligence, clarifying what a "good" or "successful" leader is, figuring out what our inherent strengths are and what all this means for us within the construction industry.
Quarter 2: The Foundation - The Leader (Yourself).
Information on what is going on inside our heads and why we react differently in certain situations, what motivates us, and a leadership maintenance schedule to help with stress, being overloaded, and exhaustion.
Quarter 3: The Building - The Team (Other people).
What motivates others, what demoralizes them, how trust is built, what THEIR default mode looks like, and a measurement tool to gauge our team's health to know when to take action to maximize the success of our teams.
Quarter 4: The Finishes – Helpful Leadership Tools
Conflict, difficult discussions, public speaking, how to get others and ourselves out of a "mind lock" for more productive conversations, and larger industry challenges to be aware of as leaders in the industry.
