Builders Exchange - The Rising Leaders Institute

Rising Leader Comments: “At Kirk Williams Company, we want to cultivate an atmosphere of team building where each party involved invests in the team for the benefit of all. Where experience is capitalized upon, ideas are shared and used to build a better project for the customer while reducing cost and assuring that everyone is profitable. I want to renew my commitment to provide quality solutions by managing projects to ensure success, safety, craftsmanship and value, while generating opportunities through long-term customer relationships. So far in the Rising Leaders Institute, I am impressed with the open dialog between contractors and the issues facing our industry. I am also pleased with the subject matter in our classes and the level at which it is presented. I look forward to applying what I have learned to my company’s bottom line.”

The Rising Leaders Institute (RLI), supported by a grant from the Builders Exchange Foundation, is an intensive, 12-session program focused on building management skills and business knowledge of high potential individuals, and preparing them to serve as the future leaders in the construction industry.

Participants in the Rising Leaders Institute are required to have a champion from their company, a manager who acts as their mentor throughout the program. Williams’ mentor is J.K. Williams, president of Kirk Williams Company.

With a curriculum developed for the Builders Exchange by The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business, the sessions are taught by OSU faculty members.
