Leaders stay with you whether you are in person or only connect for time to time. They stay with you as you follow their example, or a message or a vision and reflect that in your own leadership.

The future of construction starts with investing in people. The construction industry faces significant challenges, especially when it comes to attracting and retaining talent. At MYCON General Contractors, Inc., we're taking bold steps to address these issues. For example, we partnered with a Wall Street Journal Top 50 University to develop a custom accredited program aimed at closing the skilled trades gap. But it’s not just about skills—it’s about creating a culture where people feel valued. Our commitment to education, engagement, and career growth opportunities ensures our team thrives. By investing in our people, we’re building more than just structures—we’re shaping the future of our industry. #workforcedevelopment #constructioninnovation #leadership #peoplefirst #buildingthefuture

Everyone from the weekend DIYer to the seasoned construction professional has heard the old adage, “Measure twice. Cut once.” Let’s repurpose that for leadership. When entering into a new relationship or leadership position, “Listen twice. Talk once.” You don’t know what you don’t know. Making early, uninformed decisions or changes could leave you with a lot of very avoidable headaches. Check your ego at the door and listen to what the stakeholders have to say. They always know what is REALLY broken.

What do Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Kiewit have in common? The answer is that all three started out with humble beginnings, and eventually rose to success. I’ve told the story here about how Larry Bird and Magic Johnson both rode a garbage truck in their hometowns before they went on to become legends in both college and professional basketball. But there’s also a significant segment of Kiewit leadership, not to mention the company itself, that followed a similar trajectory. Before ascending to higher roles in the company, quite a few Kiewit leaders and executives started out as craft laborers and worked their way up. And even though Kiewit has become one of the largest construction and engineering firms in North America, the company started out as a small masonry contractor out of Omaha. Kiewit grew incrementally over a long period of time before things started to boom. Larry Bird and Magic Johnson stood out as players because they excelled at passing the ball. By involving everyone in the game, they inspired their teammates and earned respect as leaders. In the same vein, Kiewit has developed a culture that values craft labor. People from modest backgrounds can advance to run major projects, and they are given the training and experience to get them there. It goes to show that the path to excellence can start with humble beginnings.
