培训明天的校长



The superintendent plays a key role in the efficient daily operations of a construction site, helping keep projects on time, in scope and on budget. Given the熟练劳动的短缺在整个建筑行业中,考虑培训下一代负责人还为时过早,以便他们准备带来安全有效地管理建筑工地所需的技能。
负责人不仅需要在建筑法规,项目计划和规格,安全法规和建筑过程,建筑产品和材料等领域的技术技能和知识,而且还需要强大的领导能力。总监有效沟通的能力,通过解决问题以及影响多个人的人(从工人到所有者再到设计师)来处理更改优先级,可以帮助按时并在预算范围内完成施工项目。
“Sometimes, the best field worker is elevated to be a superintendent,” said Dawn Preston, a Travelers Construction Risk Control safety professional who conducts supervisor leadership training sessions across the country. “But being a good carpenter doesn’t always translate into being a good leader; a good leader is someone who can understand and find solutions to challenges that workers face.”
随着越来越多的建筑工人达到退休年龄,有83%的承包商表示担心熟练的劳动1, training the superintendents of tomorrow is a critical succession step for construction companies. A structured superintendent development program should be considered to help prepare workers to lead future construction projects. The superintendent development plan should expose candidates to all facets of the construction process. But perhaps the best training for any superintendent is on the job training, working under and learning from the experienced superintendents that run todays jobs.


Considerations for Developing Superintendents
当您计划执行律师继承时,应考虑各种元素。
- Your workforce will more than likely be made up of both tenured workers as well as newer less experienced workers, and each could present different challenges. Tenured workers may be part of the “baby boomer” generation and tend to like certain forms of communication, versus a worker in the “millennial” generation, may be savvier with electronic communication. Superintendents will also have to judge the skills and experience of workers and contractors to make sure quality is maintained.
- 建造projects have multiple technical areas that need to be understood by superintendents, and therefore, connecting workers to educational sessions to further their knowledge is important, especially considering emerging new products and technologies, i.e., LEED certification and B.I.M.
- Use on-the-job training to provide opportunities to those in your workforce. One recommendation for training tomorrow’s superintendents is to expose them to the various facets or roles within a project team. Cycle employees through different project roles like scheduling, estimating, safety, project engineer and project manager. Being a well-rounded superintendent will require knowledge and understanding of each of these roles.
- 安全可以在帮助培养前进工人方面发挥重要作用。随着许多建筑公司报告挑战寻找熟练工人的挑战,教导领导技能很重要。普雷斯顿解释说:“我们教育承包商如何领导团队,管理建筑工地的冲突以及如何通过监督领导计划向工人提供反馈。”让员工参与安全过程可能会导致整个组织的更加一致性,从而对员工的士气和绩效产生积极影响。
为明天做准备
普雷斯顿说:“我们正在帮助培训下一代领导者。”“通过我们的主管领导力发展研讨会,我们还讨论了安全指导,以纠正不安全行为,安全的经济学,这可以帮助参与者学习计算事故的直接和间接成本。”
普雷斯顿说,今天的建筑工地以快速的速度运行,几乎没有错误的空间。在项目截止日期和预算之下,建筑项目似乎面临越来越多的压力。有时,这些是竞争的兴趣,并且可能在安全性或质量上导致无意的监督。普雷斯顿说:“一项损失可以从项目中消除利润。”更有理由开始训练明天的主管。
