Northern Crane), based in Fort McMurray Alberta, Canada. This qualitative study used Action Research Engagement methodology with an appreciative stance. The first participants were interviewed by telephone: one apprentice, three journeypeople, and three managers working in mobile crane operations. Six additional mobile crane apprentices participated through a focus group at Keyano College in Fort McMurray. The findings identified the participants had limited leadership knowledge focused on managerial performance including a hierarchal practice commonly found in skilled trades.
