Meet the 2011 Rising Leaders

Lester Mitchell


Company: Smoot Construction

Title:  Project Engineer

Years in Construction Industry: 5

Rising Leader Comments: “I hope to gain useful leadership tools that will assist me to become a progressive and successful leader in my organization and career. I also expect to foster new business and personal relationships with other forward-thinking individuals from the Rising Leaders program. The program is an excellent opportunity to liaise and interact with people from diverse backgrounds.”

The Rising Leaders Institute (RLI), supported by a grant from the Builders Exchange Foundation, is an intensive, 12-session program focused on building management skills and business knowledge of high potential individuals, and preparing them to serve as the future leaders of the construction industry.

Participants in the Rising Leaders Institute are required to have a champion from their company, a manager who acts as their mentor throughout the program. Mitchell’s mentor is Greg Palmer, Senior Vice President with Smoot Construction.

With a curriculum developed for the Builders Exchange by The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business, the sessions are taught by OSU faculty members.
