Building High Performance Teams

Part of the Building Supervisors for Tomorrow (BST) program.

Description

To achieve project goals, construction supervisors need the ability to build strong teams. Crews that identify as a team recognize the benefit of teamwork and of contributing to the team’s goals. Supervisors who are strong team leaders can develop their crews into high performance teams – teams that provide products and services on time, on budget and according to the level of quality its customers require.

This course is intended to help supervisors develop their team building skills. Participants will learn about the characteristics of high performing teams, team dynamics and the supervisor’s role as a team leader. Participants will also learn team building strategies.

Topics:

  1. Understanding team development
  2. Defining characteristics of high performance teams
  3. Digging into what it takes to be a high performance supervisor
  4. Taking your team from base camp to the summit of high performance

 

Intended Audience

Up-and-coming and mid-level Supervisors.
