Build Stronger Leaders. Deliver Stronger Projects.
A structured program for construction and engineering leaders to reduce turnover, prevent burnout, and energise decision-making — by aligning leadership teams with their natural strengths.
The Leadership Problem
The construction and engineering sector is under pressure. Projects are complex, margins are tight, and talent is harder than ever to attract and retain.
The challenge isn’t just technical — it’s human. Leadership teams are often:
- Fighting fires instead of leading with clarity.
- Drained by misaligned roles and endless bureaucracy.
- Struggling to engage teams and hold onto top performers.
The result? Burnout, disengagement, and turnover that costs your business tens (sometimes hundreds) of thousands every year.
Why Strengths, Not Another “Personality Test”?
You’ve probably seen tools like DISC or MBTI. They put people in broad categories. Useful for surface-level insight, but too simplistic for real leadership transformation.
CliftonStrengths® is different. It identifies each leader’s unique mix of 34 strengths — no boxes, no labels. Instead, it highlights what energises each person and how they can best contribute.
This isn’t theory. Gallup’s research shows:
- Strengths-based leadership reduces turnover by up to 59%.
- Teams led by strengths-aligned leaders are 8–12% more productive.

What Success Looks Like
Before the program:
- Leaders stretched thin, working in roles that drain them.
- Meetings dominated by friction and competing priorities.
- Turnover at or above industry average (14%), with every resignation costing ~$42,000.
After the program:
- Leaders energised, operating in their strengths zone.
- A common language for collaboration and decision-making.
- Lower turnover, stronger retention, and morale that sustains long projects.
Practical Example: The Cost of Turnover
This is not a client case study, but a worked example based on Gallup’s research and construction industry averages.
Category | Before | After (with Construct with Strengths) | Impact |
Workforce Size | 100 employees | 100 employees | - |
Annual Turnover Rate | 14% (national average) | 8% | ↓ 6% turnover |
Employees Leaving | 14 per year | 8 per year | - |
Cost per Departure | $42,000 | $42,000 | 6 fewer departures |
Annual Turnover Cost | $588,000 | $336,000 | - |
Team Culture | High stress, disengagement issues | Higher morale, lower absenteeism, resilient team | Better collaboration & retention |
Prevent just one resignation and this program pays for itself.
