Fuduric shares how he entered construction at 16 through asphalt paving and learned relationship-building and servant leadership from mentors on a road crew and from coach Art Musselman. Drawing on 40+ years in construction, human resources, and safety management, he explains why Clemson revitalized courses on building high-performing teams and the human side of construction to strengthen students’ communication, negotiation, emotional intelligence, and teamwork across architects, engineers, owners, and trade partners. He discusses psychological safety, mindfulness, and a proposed certificate in human-centered leadership in construction, emphasizing trust, a growth mindset, active listening, and not taking on more than you can handle.Support the show
