How do we move from “individual leaders” to truly collaborative teams in construction?

• How women in a time-poor, project-driven industry can invest in their own development without guilt or burnout

• “Giving to gain”: how senior women can lift others sustainably, and how early-career women can focus on 1-2 opportunities that give them satisfaction and growth
