Actionable Key Takeaways for Trades Operators:

• Generational shifts in the trades will impact everything, especially leadership. We need to empower the next generation to fill the gaps in leadership from previous generations.

• Focus on investing in tools and training that develop an empathetic servant leadership mindset, where the leaders are serving the employees, not the other way around.

• When implementing new leadership changes, you must get rid of the company-wide mindset of “this isn’t going to work” or “this isn’t going to last long, they’ll drop it soon”. Strive to implement leadership principles that are simple, yet effective changes. Remember, change starts at the top!

• To boost employee buy-in, identify champions of your leadership programs that will lead by example. Start with 5-10.
