The Rethink Series is a leadership roundtable series by Ambition Theory, created to spark bold, necessary conversations about the future of leadership in construction.
As the industry shifts in real time, these sessions surface the questions companies need to be asking—and the kind of leadership it will take to move forward.
Rooted in insights from our Building Better research and real-world work with construction companies, each roundtable challenges outdated norms and explores what’s possible when we rethink how we define, select, and support leaders.
These aren’t surface-level conversations. They’re a chance to see your company, your people, and your path forward in a new light.
We’re in a moment of massive disruption—economic pressure, shifting regulations, workforce fatigue, and cultural tension are reshaping the construction industry in real time.
And yet… most companies are still choosing leaders the same way they always have.
According to the 2025 Building Better: Rethinking Leadership in Construction report, the leadership traits needed most right now—clarity, trust-building, and collaboration—aren’t always the ones being recognized or rewarded.
This roundtable brings together industry leaders to unpack what kind of leadership actually moves the needle today—and why it’s so often overlooked.
