How To Be a Better Foreman
Many great trades people take a foreman position and fail. Not for lack of skills or drive but simply for lack of guidance on how to be a great foreman. This 1-day course gives participants the fundamentals of field leadership, organization, crew morale, efficiency, and productivity.
Issues covered:
• Understanding why and how many foremen fail
• How the foreman’s role has changed
• Dealing with workplace conflict without being a jerk
• Learning how to anticipate production and jobsite issues
• Understanding general and subcontractor dynamics
• Understanding your role as a leader
• Understand how you play a major role in increasing jobsite productivity
Instructor: Paul Simpson is a Gold Seal certified superintendent with over 15 years of trade experience. He holds a Red Seal for Plumbing and Pipefitting and has his Gasfitting certification as well. He is currently teaching the piping trades at Thompson Rivers University.
What previous participants said:
“Well structured, informative course.”
“Nice to hear different perspectives.”
“Valuable: Learning to communicate with other people on the job site.”
