Visionaries making the path to decarbonization easier to follow. Skilled managers called in to create expedited fixes in the face of structural failures or to avert disaster. Executives who make improbable designs come to life. Leaders who are working to systematize the inclusion of the diverse workforce necessary to strengthen the industry.
In a world filled with complex problems, this year’s ENR Top 25 Newsmakers, chosen by the editors, are the ones who come up with solutions. In many of their stories, colleagues say the Newsmaker is the only one who could have gotten the job done. But the way Newsmakers have done it is by bringing people together: listening, communicating and galvanizing everyone to apply their most intense efforts and work as one team.
As ENR recognizes their singular achievements, the Newsmakers remind us that building community is the best way to move forward.
Read their stories, get inspired, and meet them in person at ENR’s Award of Excellence gala on April 11 at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers in New York City. Visit enr.com/aoe to register.
