Leadership development and knowledge sharing can influence how construction professionals build stronger project teams and navigate career challenges. LeChase Regional Director of Community Engagement and Inclusion Denise Barnes recently participated in a professional development session hosted by the National Association of Women in Construction Triangle Chapter and the Women in Architecture Triangle Chapter.
The session brought together construction and architecture professionals to discuss career experiences that shaped their leadership approaches.
Rather than focusing exclusively on successful outcomes, the discussion examined mistakes made during professional careers and how those experiences contributed to improved decision-making and leadership.
Barnes participated alongside other speakers, sharing a career experience and the lessons drawn from it.
The event also provided a platform for professionals working across construction and architecture to exchange experiences and perspectives.
Debroux's involvement with the NAWIC Triangle Chapter board adds a connection between LeChase's workforce and the regional professional organization. Her participation reflects the role of industry associations in creating opportunities for networking, leadership development and knowledge sharing.
Professional development programs and industry associations provide construction companies with additional avenues for developing field and corporate leadership talent.
For contractors and construction owners, leadership development can support workforce retention, collaboration and decision-making as employees progress into positions with greater project and organizational responsibilities.
