Timothy Lubniewski Calls for Greater Recognition of Trades and Blue-Collar Leadership in National Business Dialogue
Timothy Lubniewski, Staten Island, NY, USA.
Industry Veteran Featured in In-Depth Interview on Building Trust, Resilience, and Real-World Strategy
Timothy D. Lubniewski, General Manager at Rose Paving LLC and one of the most respected names in the paving and maintenance sector, is using the spotlight from a recent in-depth career interview to advocate for something bigger than business success: the long-overdue recognition of skilled trades as essential engines of the American economy.
In the featured interview, Lubniewski shares the story of launching his first construction business at age 23, growing it into one of the Northeast's top paving firms, and eventually joining Rose Paving, now the largest private commercial paving maintenance company in the U.S. But it's not just a business story-it's a call to action.
"Leadership isn't just boardrooms and titles," says Lubniewski. "It's showing up every day, knowing your trade, respecting your team, and doing the work right the first time."
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the skilled trades sector is expected to grow by 10% through 2033, yet the average age of trade workers is rising, and fewer young people are entering the field. A 2023 National Association of Home Builders study revealed that 77% of contractors face serious labour shortages.
Lubniewski sees this as a leadership gap-and a mindset problem.
"We need to stop framing trades as a backup plan. The skills and strategy involved in growing a paving company, a plumbing outfit, or an HVAC firm are no different from any start-up in Silicon Valley," he says. "It's time we tell those stories."
In the interview, he reflects on learning from early mistakes and how faith and long-term thinking helped him navigate challenges. He credits much of his success to a belief in constant improvement and measuring success by the joy and trust of others.
"When your workers ask for your advice, when clients call you a friend-that's when you know you're leading," Lubniewski explains. "Not because you say it, but because they feel it."
He also highlights the role of purpose outside of profit. Lubniewski and his wife, college professor Kathryn Lubniewski, support local churches and community efforts through the Jacobsen Lubniewski Fund. He says giving back is part of the same value system that built his business: long-term commitment, shared effort, and building something that lasts.
Reframe What Success Looks Like
Lubniewski encourages business leaders, educators, and young professionals to start where they are:
*
Mentor a trade student or apprentice
*
Visit a local job site or vocational school to learn
*
Support businesses that invest in craft, ethics, and local labour
*
Share stories-not just of startups and tech, but of tradespeople and builders
"The future of leadership will be shaped by those willing to work hard, take ownership, and lift others," says Lubniewski. "You don't need a suit to make an impact-you need commitment."
