How will you succeed?

Day-to-day job responsibilities are one thing. Even more important? Approaching those responsibilities with a mindset and attitude that align with Mortenson culture and the values of our team:

• Communicate with clarity: practice well-developed communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate messages to a variety of senior audiences. Effective communication includes an openness to diverse input and feedback including actively seeking out perspectives different from your own.
• Balance the future with the needs of today: At Mortenson we are focused on building the talent system which will enable the next generation.  We are always thinking ahead and building for the future.  However, dreams are only one part of the equation.  We must make meaningful impact annually to drive the change necessary for success.
• Be an expert with a growth mindset: Knowledge of theories, principles, methods, and techniques relevant to the fields of talent management will be critical. More importantly, live life as a learner – be more concerned with what you don’t know than letting everyone know what you do know will help you bring your knowledge to the complex Mortenson business.
• Simplify the complex: have a strategic mindset that sees connections between otherwise disparate activities, projects, initiatives, and messages. Help others make connections that they might not see.
• Maintain optimism in the face of ambiguity: Much like a professional services firm, talent management is a critical aspect for which many rely.  With so much growth and change in the industry and company, ambiguity is the one thing that is certain, so resilience is a must.
• Be planful, but adaptable: appreciate attention to detail with strong planning and organizational skills with the ability to quickly adapt a plan to meet shifting team and business needs. Simultaneously manage a variety of projects in a fast-paced environment, while remaining flexible and positive.
