Summary

Mini Series Part 6: Most industries — especially the construction industry — struggle with change fatigue caused by new technologies, evolving project delivery models, and shifting market demands. Construction leadership must navigate this ongoing transformation effectively through strong change management and fostering resilience.

In this episode of Activating Curiosity, Ryan Ware explores how construction leaders can build a healthier, more resilient relationship with change by applying the Five C’s of Change: Choice, Control, Clarity, Commitment, and Curiosity. These concepts help leaders better understand their past change experiences, manage current challenges, and lead construction teams with confidence.

Whether you’re implementing digital construction tools, embracing modular construction, or focusing on leadership development and change management strategies within the AEC industry, this episode provides valuable insights to reduce resistance, build trust, and cultivate a culture of adaptability. If you're a construction leader, project executive, architect, or engineer looking to enhance your construction leadership skills and lead change with confidence and curiosity, this episode is essential listening.
