This course - Executive Issues in Construction – deals with the day-to-day problems that face construction executives. Through various speakers, projects and assignments the students were introduced to the “real-life” aspects that management teams inevitably struggle with. The following pages contain key lessons learned from three of the speakers (D. Strohmeier, J. Teeples, and J. Coleman), the transcript and summary of an interview with a business professional (P. Moore), and an action plan for my career in the construction industry that incorporates information obtained in the speakers’ presentations; the interview; and additional research.
