Leadership today is about listening, staying adaptable, and doing the right thing every time. When we lead with integrity and think beyond the project, we unlock smarter solutions and lasting impact.
What leadership looks like today
Leadership today means being an active listener and staying flexible, especially as the pace of our work and the world continues to accelerate. At Mortenson, I believe leadership isn’t about titles—it’s something we all share. Each of us is responsible for carrying forward the culture that’s been part of this company since the beginning. That mindset is what drives our vision forward and ensures that accountability and innovation are part of everything we do.
Building smarter for our customers
To me, what makes our work truly stand out is how we think beyond just the project at hand. We’re always asking how we can enhance our customer’s overall business and long-term success. Our expertise spans a wide range of markets and challenges, which allows us to bring thoughtful solutions to the table, reduce risk, and uncover new opportunities. That mindset—looking deeper and building smarter—is what drives real innovation and value.
Integrity in action
Our culture is what grounds and guides us. It starts with a simple principle: always do the right thing. That mindset shapes how we work, how we treat each other, and how we show up for our customers. When we lead with integrity, we’re able to operate with openness and honesty in everything we do. It’s not just what we say—it’s how we work, every day.
