Building on the legacy of Mort鈥檚 leadership
Our founder Mort Mortenson believed that we were all born to be leaders; that leadership wasn't something that just happened to us but was something within us. Mort鈥檚 legacy of inspirational leadership is the embodiment of who we are at Mortenson today. Every single one of our team members is a part of keeping that legacy alive.
Mort said it best, 鈥淎ll of us are called to be leaders." That's why we created LeadBLU.
Our听culture principles
Mort once said that "leadership by example is a guiding principle throughout our company." LeadBLU principles and practices provide a clear, values-based roadmap for team members to approach work in a way that honors Mort鈥檚 legacy. They're a way to inspire all of us to tap into our inner leader and make the world a better place.
Do the right thing
It's the cornerstone of Mortenson's culture and the backbone of our company. We believe the way we conduct ourselves in life and business is more important than being the smartest one in the room. It's doing the right thing when the difficult approach or less-than-obvious response might be the toughest path to choose.
We before me
The success of our teams, customers, and communities comes from caring for ourselves so we can care for each other, so that together, we put our best forward. It鈥檚 about leaving people, places, and things better than how we found them. It鈥檚 the humility to admit our flaws while we celebrate our strengths.听
Inspire what's possible
We believe in an inclusive approach to achieving our very best. We're driven by the power of curiosity and lifelong learning 鈥� it's our commitment to making a lasting impact. We're building a better world by going above and beyond to help each other achieve great things. And by setting a bold vision for our potential, we do just that.
