Building High Performance Teams

To hit your project goals, you need more than a group of people—you need a team that works together. This course shows supervisors how to turn a crew into a high-performing team that delivers on time, on budget, and to the level of quality expected.

You’ll explore how teams form, what makes them thrive, and how to lead with purpose and consistency. Learn how to identify where your team is at today and how to take them to the summit of high performance through practical leadership and team-building strategies.

Topics:

• Understanding team development and team stages

• Characteristics of high-performance teams

• Assessing your current team and your leadership style

• Becoming a consistent high-performance supervisor

• Strategies to take your team from base camp to summit

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.

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.
