Last night I was fortunate enough to attended a leadership work shop class about construction scheduling. I was blown away with how naïve I was, and the class really opened my eyes to the leadership aspect of the construction world. I believe that continuing to attend these work shops will allow me to grow my leadership skills to new heights and become the best leader I can be.

Thank you,

Construction Leadership has helped our company improve on teamwork, efficiency, and has considerably decreased our downtime on job sites. John's classes have also helped to improve the quality of work provided to our customers, as well as team accountability and communication skills.

It's obvious that John has a passion for the industry and helping people. I believe the local construction industry has been longing for someone to step up and provide the tools needed to help not only this generation of workers succeed, but the next generation as well. John's curriculum is well thought out and focuses on issues that the construction industry has struggled with for years. His classes cultivate a better way of thinking and provide insight on how to address the issues we face in this industry every day.

I would also like to add that there is great value in these classes when you look at it from a monetary standpoint. As a business owner, you're always asking yourself, "what is my return on investment?". Let me tell you, the return on investment for these classes have been exponential. The crews have bought into these classes 100%, and I can say with absolute certainty that attending them has made us a much better company overall. 

Construction Leadership teaches lessons and a way of thinking that will benefit the attendees not only in their work life, but in their personal life as well. I would recommend these classes to any company looking to invest in their employees, as well as any individual looking to invest in themselves.

I’ve been in the construction industry for over 17 years and currently I’m a Project Manager for a site excavation company. The construction industry has always had the reputation of being rough around the edges. Meaning messy job sites, incomplete information, subs stacked on top of each other, no schedule etc. When I started working with John and taking his Construction Leadership Classes I was a little hesitant at first but after my first round of training I started to trust and believe in John and what he was bringing to the table with the crews and myself. John helped open my eyes to what I was capable of doing as a leader and how important it was to make the changes within myself and the team to achieve better communication, cleaner job sites, higher quality of work and overall better relationships with my crews and customers. 

The biggest change I’ve noticed is with my guys. They all participate in training and give feedback and bring up topics to discuss that they are struggling with and try to find ways to improve. They have come together as a team from the Site superintendent to the foremen and laborers all working together to create a better atmosphere. They have all learned to trust John and use the tools they have learned in the training to better their careers and personal life.

I would like to put in my 2 cents worth of thought on John Sladick's work with the company. I have to say that I appreciate not only the information that he shares in the classroom times, but also his wisdom and demeanor as he conducts those sessions. His calm and measured manner in listening and dealing with the issues that come out is truly refreshing, and to me, inspiring. It is obvious that he has a passion for teaching to improve the level of knowledge and the ability to function at a higher level through clear and thoughtful communication, those in the industry. His stated goal as he moves forward with the classes is in spite of whatever may come out as an issue, let's improve ourselves and the way we get our work done and let's do it together as a team.

Additionally, I have to say that his time with me on the job and on the phone has been a great benefit in many different ways. The use of his three week calendar in subcontractor meetings where current and immediate future workers (subs) are attending has had immediate and obvious benefit. I can see from the response to the first meeting that this is going to be a great tool to engender teamwork between subs and with us and me in particular (as site super). While I cannot speak to what this is costing you in dollars, I am certain that if you carry this through, the payback is going to be measured exponentially in performance and reputation with the subs.

All of that to say your efforts in this regard have my strong support and encouragement to continue along these lines.

Best Regards,

Val Cooper, Superintendent
