Why it matters

Your best people got promoted. Nobody trained them to lead.

Most foremen and supervisors are promoted because they're great at the work, not because they were trained to lead people. Yet their ability to communicate, motivate, and hold others accountable directly impacts safety, productivity, morale, and retention.

This intensive, 4-hour workshop, based on Mark Breslin's best-selling book The Five Minute Foreman, gives your field leaders practical tools they can use the next day. Registration includes a copy of the book. Seats are limited to 250.

Venue: Shannon Center, 11600 Shannon Ave, Dublin, CA. Nearby hotels: Holiday Inn Dublin – Pleasanton, 6680 Regional St, (925) 828-7750 · La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Dublin – Pleasanton, 6275 Dublin Blvd, (925) 967-2750 · Hyatt Place Dublin / Pleasanton, 4950 Hacienda Dr, (925) 828-9006.

Mark Breslin

Speaker and author in construction

For 40 years, Mark Breslin led one of the most respected heavy civil engineering construction associations in North America and watched the same problem play out again and again: the best workers get promoted to lead, and nobody trains them how.

As CEO, he built and ran leadership development programs across the association, testing what actually changed how field leaders led and what didn’t. Today he brings those lessons to construction leaders across the industry, direct and without the fluff.
