The Real Art of Construction Management
Presented by Doreen Bartoldus PE, CCM, DBIA Assoc.
Construction isn’t just about plans and processes—it’s fundamentally a people business. Learn about building successful teams and fostering a collaborative work environment. This topic addresses the nuances of team dynamics and provides actionable strategies for leading effectively in the construction sector.
I love interactive discussion so we will endeavor to utilize case studies and engage attendees. I love this subject and look forward to meeting everyone and learning more myself.
