"How to Lead with Composure and Confidence on a Jobsite" - November 5, 2024 12:00pm - 1:00pm PDT The construction industry presents unique challenges that test a leader's composure and confidence. How do leaders maintain equilibrium in a high-stakes, fast-paced job site environment? Are the workers feeling confident, safe, and valued? Or are they feeling overworked, stressed, and uncertain? Too much leniency and the work may lose direction, leading to inefficiency and safety risks. The magic lies in calibrating a healthy balance, where leaders can assert their confidence and maintain composure, keeping the team motivated, safe, and productive. Our practice has found that leaders who are grounded in Emotional Intelligence have the ability not only to convey confidence but also elevate the experience of confidence in their people. https://ow.ly/5J5U50TWxeR Register today!

The recent UCON-N. CA Laborers Industry Partner Meeting brought together over 60 contractors and union representatives for a series of roundtable discussions addressing key industry issues. Attendees received a state of the industry report from Oscar De La Torre of Northern California District Council of Laborers, followed by important insights from Jesse Jimenez on the impact of the Foundation for Fair Contracting (FFC). Topics included the growing concerns over political and legislative challenges like overregulation, targeted hiring requirements for local residents, and strategies for navigating compliance with PLAs and prevailing wage obligations, particularly when dealing with third-party monitors. These discussions are designed to foster collaboration and advance the industry for union contractor members.
