Leadership is important for any group activity ? business, sports, volunteering, etc. As I?ve been watching the March Madness basketball games, I can?t help but notice the apparent team leaders on the court. These are the players that the team relies on, not only for their basketball skills, but for their team leadership. This got me thinking about what makes a good leader in the construction industry. After all, a good construction business manager acts as a leader for the entire company. Over the years, I?ve learned quite a bit about what motivates teams and keeps them productive, so I hope these leadership tips help your construction business.
Set High Expectations
The most successful leaders I know, whether they work in construction, software, or some other industry, are always pushing the envelope. These men and women set the bar high for their teams, but not so high that the end goal is not feasible. Attainable expectations motivate their teams to not only work hard, but to learn new skills along the way. Ultimately, these ambitious goals are what make their companies successful.
Good Leaders Pay Attention
Behind every good construction business leader is a hard working team of project managers, construction workers, and office staff. Without these staff members, a construction company would not function, so it?s the job of the leader to notice the hard work of these employees. It?s also the job of the leader to notice those employees who need the most help and give them the tools and instruction they need to succeed. I find that when employees are achieving their goals, the company and its leaders achieve theirs.
Praise & Critique
Success is something to celebrate ? after all, wins for your team are wins for the entire company. Acknowledging personal achievements is also important to the morale of your team. I like to follow the saying ?Praise in public, criticize in private.? Like any leader, as a construction business manager, you will inevitably have to critique an employee. But no matter the offense, discipline should not be done in front of the employee?s peers. Nothing good comes from public humiliation.
I hope these ideas will help with your construction business management.
