Ambition Theory

Andrea Janzen from Ambition Theory breaks down her research-backed leadership model comparing transactional leadership (the traditional top-down approach) with transformational leadership (collaborative, strength-based) and explains why women naturally excel at the latter—though construction typically rewards the former. ??♀???? With construction facing critical labor shortages and increasingly complex projects, Andrea emphasizes the need for organizations to embrace transformational approaches to drive exponential growth and inclusivity! ??
