When we work together, we can achieve anything. At Granite, we focus on being One Team in order to effectively communicate and support one another.
Granite Leadership has more than three decades of successful track records in acquisition, development and financial restructuring. Our senior management team has navigated five market downturns together.
Nurturing talent and leadership is important to us
Leasing Edge Committee
Granite’s Leading Edge Committee (LEC) develops strong leaders as part of our succession plan to deliver on Granite’s future strategy. LEC gives next-level leaders opportunities to work on initiatives impacting our organization while exposing them to enterprise-wide strategic planning, cross-functional collaboration, and leadership team dynamics. Through these meaningful work experiences linked to our strategic priorities, LEC prepares participants for senior positions and accelerated career progression.
LEAD
Each year, Granite selects a team of up-and-coming leaders from across our departments to participate in LEAD, which stands for Leadership, Education, and Development. In this twelve-month program, the LEAD team participates in immersive cross-departmental business training quarterly classes. Team members have the opportunity to explore all aspects of the business from development to property management while honing their leadership skills. It’s one of the many ways we provide opportunities for learning and growth.
Elevate
Each year, Granite invites first-time managers and leaders new to Granite to participate in Elevate. This eight-month course helps them lead with confidence and competence while reinforcing the Granite Purpose as a people leader. Elevate offers the opportunity to foster a blend of education, personal growth and core workplace instruction.
