Who Should Attend: Experienced Foremen, Superintendents, and new Project Managers. Preparing leaders for the construction field in the face of rapid change, is imperative if the leader is to thrive versus just surviving. The influence of globalization, innovative delivery methods, varied organizational structures, and an aging and diversifying construction workforce requires a paradigm shift in how leadership is
developed within the industry. The leader’s roles in construction are often very task driven in the field, with demands to meet tight schedules under constrained budgets. However these tasks cannot be completed successfully without strong lines of communication, trust between the members of both the design and construction teams as well as the ability to work through people problems. From that perspective; a strong leader must have strong people skills in order to succeed in the construction industry of the future. The challenge perhaps is giving credence to these more abstract softer skills and traits that enhance the leader’s ability to work with people and still meet the demands of project scope, schedules, budgets, safety and customer satisfaction. Through this program you will increase your ability to lead others in the field more effectively and efficiently.
