ABOUT THE COURSE
It’s game day, your opponent is already on the field, and you call into the locker room for your foreman quarterback to take the field. Are they ready? Do they understand their role? Do they have the same game plan as you? Do they understand the scouting report on the opposition, and what it will take to win in this game? Are they confident and knowledgeable enough of the game plan to know when to stick with the plan, and when to audible?
The project foreman needs to be much more than just a talented journeyman who knows how to “go fast.” The foreman is the first line of management in the company, and must become the quarterback by learning more than just the technical trade skills required to install the work.
Like a quarterback, they must have a carefully crafted and practiced game plan (or else it’s sandlot football), they must be able to execute the plan, they must be able to adjust the plan when teammates stumble or show less talent, they must provide accurate feedback to the coaches on the bench, and they must at all times keep their eyes on the goal of winning the construction project game!
This session provides a solid introduction to the management techniques and lessons presented in the PHCC Educational Foundation’s full Super Foremen Workshop.
