SMACNA-SoCal Membership Event: The Five-Minute Foreman - Mastering the People Side of Construction

Foremen run every construction project in North America every day. Big responsibility follows them, and big money depends on them. But most foremen have no formal management or leadership training.

Mark Breslin, CEP, speaker, and best-selling author, presented The Five Minute Foreman leadership training for SMACNA SoCal and Local 105 foremen in September.

This four-hour program is concrete, specific, and powerful in its immediate relevance for foremen and superintendents to adopt new methods and behaviors that encourage, motivate, and inspire workforces. In a highly competitive market, the best practices get the best results.

The Five Minute Foreman workshop covered essential lesson plans and action steps for improved performance in leadership roles. These include changing the mindset of foremen to “professional leaders” and using effective communication techniques that foster loyalty and results. Leaders learn how to motivate their workforce with positive reinforcement, how to improve safety practices and employee midsets, and how to improve quality and reduce rework. Other topics include goal setting for higher production, promoting positive change, maximizing teamwork and accountability and the importance of mentorship and generational knowledge transfer.
