The 1st Session of Boot Camp went well! Positive messages and encouraging lessons that can be immediately implemented. Some changes in culture can take time, other changes in attitude and approach can be adopted right away! It’s helpful to have people leading the Bootcamp who know the Industry – maybe they don’t know every individual Company or Company Personality – but there is an understanding of how our industry behaves that allows for the Messages to be applied with accuracy and poignancy.

David Fan, Division Manager, B.T. Mancini, Sacramento, CA

It is definitely reassuring that there are others out there that also want success for the next generation. I got a lot of takeaways from this weekend and really appreciate the time and effort you and your team put in to make sure it went smoothly. I’m looking forward to six months from now to come to the next boot camp session. I’ll be sure to sharpen my skills and knowledge to bring more to the table next meeting. Thanks.

As soon as we left the seminar and got in a cab to the airport, Dane and I both agreed that we had “drank the FBI koolaid” and couldn’t wait to get to work and share some of the extremely insightful knowledge you guys shared with us on Friday and Saturday. I think that almost all the material will be an enormous benefit to Harrison & Burrowes. We are extremely excited about what FBI can offer and can’t wait until the next session.

The Contractor Business Boot Camp helped me understand some of the leadership and management challenges that get overlooked on a daily basis. Peer to peer discussions and interactions throughout the event provided valuable knowledge that is tough to find in this industry.

Eric Helitzer, Project Manager, GRYCON, Dania Beach, FL

We enrolled two persons in this and, after the first 2-day session, they spoke very highly of the program and are looking forward to the future sessions. We would highly recommend.

Kent Pilcher, President, Estes Construction, Davenport, IA

I found Boot Camp to be extremely valuable in understanding the concept of providing LEADERSHIP rather than MANAGEMENT of associates. The important quote I took away is “Lead People, Manage Things.”

Reading the Tea Leaves

by Dennis Engelbrecht | Nov 15, 2023

by Wayne Rivers | Nov 14, 2023

Marcum, a national accounting firm with a robust construction practice, produced an excellent, insightful survey earlier this year. They note that backlogs are good, public sector construction spending is strong, materials costs have somewhat stabilized, and supply...

Planning vs. Urgency

by Dennis Engelbrecht | Nov 8, 2023

Urgency addiction is a real thing in the construction industry. It feels good to solve problems, resolve a crisis, and get accolades for having “saved the day.” But constantly fighting fires and dealing with urgent problems tends to crowd out planning and setting...
