SUMMARY:Building Leaders from the Field Up
DESCRIPTION:An 11-Week Leadership Development Program \nPart of ABC Eastern Pennsylvania’s Leadership Development Series \nThe hardest part of becoming a leader isn’t learning how to manage people. It’s learning how to manage yourself first. \nTechnical skills may earn you a promotion. Leadership skills determine your success. \nOne of the biggest challenges facing construction companies today is developing the next generation of construction leaders. Every day\, skilled craft professionals are promoted because of their technical expertise—but leading people requires an entirely different skill set. \nBuilding Leaders from the Field Up prepares emerging and developing field leaders to confidently transition from doing the work to leading the people doing it. \n  \nWhy This Program Is Different \nMost leadership training teaches what leaders should do. \nThis Leadership Development Program focuses on who leaders need to become. \nParticipants complete a personalized DISC Leadership Assessment during the first session and use those results throughout the program to better understand their communication style\, behaviors\, strengths\, and leadership approach. \nBecause effective leadership begins with self-awareness\, participants first learn to lead themselves before learning to lead others. \nThrough discussion\, real-world jobsite scenarios\, practical leadership tools\, and between-session application\, participants build leadership habits they can immediately apply on the jobsite. \n  \nLeadership Competencies You’ll Develop \n\nSelf-awareness and leadership identity\nTransitioning from coworker to leader\nCommunicating with different personalities\nBuilding trust and credibility\nDelegating work and setting expectations\nCreating accountability\nAdapting your leadership style\nBuilding stronger relationships with your crew\n\n  \nLearn. Apply. Return. Repeat. \nLeadership isn’t developed in a classroom alone. \nBetween each session\, participants apply what they’ve learned on the jobsite before returning two weeks later to discuss experiences\, challenges\, and successes while building the next leadership skill. \n  \nWho Should Attend \n\nJourneyworkers preparing for leadership\nLead workers\nCrew leaders\nNew or developing foremen\nEmployees identified as future field leaders\nField leaders with one to two years of experience looking to strengthen their leadership foundation\n\n  \nIncluded with Registration \n✔ Personalized DISC Leadership Assessment \n✔ Individual DISC Results \n✔ Six instructor-led leadership sessions \n✔ Practical jobsite application \n✔ ABC Eastern PA Certificate of Completion \n  \nProgram Commitment \nThis is an 11-week Leadership Development Program\, not six standalone classes. \nParticipants are expected to attend all six sessions in order. Each session builds upon the previous one through discussion\, reflection\, and practical application. \n  \nWhy Employers Invest \nDeveloping frontline leaders strengthens communication\, accountability\, teamwork\, and employee engagement while preparing the next generation of construction leaders. \n  \nNew to Leadership? Start Here. \nAlready have several years of leadership experience? Explore Strengthening Your Leadership Impact\, our advanced leadership workshop for experienced field leaders. \n  \nABC Eastern Pennsylvania’s Commitment \nABC Eastern Pennsylvania is committed to developing the next generation of construction leaders by providing practical\, industry-focused professional development that strengthens individuals\, teams\, and member companies. \n  \nSchedule (Every Other Friday) \nSeptember 11 \nSeptember 25 \nOctober 9 \nOctober 23 \nNovember 6 \nNovember 20 \n  \n8:00 AM – 11:00 AM \nABC Eastern Pennsylvania \n894 Marcon Boulevard Allentown\, PA 18109 \n\nMeet Your Instructor \n \nMatt RiehlFounder & PresidentProodos Consulting \nMatt’s introduction to the construction industry started in the trenches\, working summers as a stone mason for his uncle. As he moved into equipment sales and operation\, listening to the needs of his clients sparked a deep\, lasting passion for occupational safety. Over the years\, his career has been a unique blend of operational and business experience—from navigating the acquisition of his family’s bakery to spending eight years on the executive team of a regional General Contractor. It was in those Safety and HR leadership roles that his dedication to training and developing frontline leaders truly crystallized. In 2024\, Matt took 25 years of industry experience and founded Proodos Consulting to help construction and manufacturing teams build stronger leaders and safer cultures. When he’s not coaching or consulting\, he can be found at home in West Lampeter with his wife and two daughters\, playing a round of golf\, or experimenting with a new recipe in the kitchen.
