Ep. 8 Advanced Leadership Institute: World-Class Executive Leadership Education
In this episode of Inside MCAA, we delve into the power of leadership and the transformative role of education in grooming tomorrow’s leaders. Host Frank Favaro speaks with Steve Dawson, President and CEO of Harrell Fish, and co-chair of MCAA’s Advanced Leadership Institute (ALI) committee, about his journey from a battlefield promotion to leading one of Indiana’s most successful mechanical contracting companies. A proud graduate of the third ALI class, Steve shares insights into the critical tools and strategies that shaped his leadership journey, and how ALI, MCAA’s premiere executive education program, helped him develop the skills to lead with intention and accountability.
Steve reflects on how leadership is a continuous journey—a mindset of constant improvement—and emphasizes the importance of embracing responsibility, measuring progress, and fostering a culture of accountability within organizations. Drawing inspiration from sports dynasties like the Pittsburgh Steelers, Steve and Frank discuss how leaders set the tone for their teams and the critical role that organizational culture plays in achieving extraordinary results.
Whether you’re a seasoned leader or aspiring to take your leadership to the next level, this conversation offers valuable lessons on personal growth, strategic planning, and building a high-performance culture. Tune in to hear how ALI may be the leadership training you’ve been looking for.
