Building High Performance Teams

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

Up-and-coming and mid-level Supervisors.

With Building Supervisors for Tomorrow (BST), up-and-coming and mid-level supervisors gain the knowledge and confidence to move into management roles. BST puts an emphasis on practical knowledge, providing participants with the additional skills and resources needed to excel at new challenges on the job site.

Effective construction supervision requires a wide variety of skills, such as people skills (communication, teamwork, conflict resolution, coaching), technical skills (planning, meetings and delegation), and management skills (human resources and authentic leadership).

This comprehensive program provides it all, and is delivered in manageable segments by industry experts with extensive hands-on experience in construction’s ICI sector. Participants have the flexibility to attend modules in any order. Once participants have completed all 10 courses, including Leadership for Safety Excellence delivered by the Construction Safety Association of Manitoba, they will be awarded a Building Supervisors for Tomorrow (ICI) certificate.
