Today we had the first day of the Supervisory Skill Development training for our second batch, with the participants engaging in a full-day program.

Types of Supervisors: Discussed three distinct supervisory styles, enabling participants to identify and adapt their style to suit team dynamics. 3. Three Steps to Influence People: Practical steps for supervisors to build trust, gain commitment, and encourage a collaborative environment. 4. positive Attitude: Emphasizing the value of positivity in leadership and its impact on team morale and productivity.

Embracing Responsibility Beyond the Scope: The Value of Leadership in Professional Development In the construction industry, a contract manager who actively involves team members in tasks beyond their defined roles is invaluable. When senior leaders encourage participation in additional responsibilities—such as attending meetings, coordinating with authorities, or managing complex aspects of a project—it fosters professional growth and enhances project success. By empowering individuals to step into these roles, leaders like our contract manager not only enrich our experience but also promote a stronger, more versatile team. This approach not only benefits the company by cultivating a proactive, solutions-oriented workforce but also prepares individuals to excel in their careers. In my experience, such leadership exemplifies the best qualities of a contract manager—supportive, forward-thinking, and dedicated to building both people and projects. This culture of active involvement and learning is key to advancing not only individual potential but also the collective success of the team and organization.

But if you’re serious about building a High Performing Team, then here are my top 5 tips: 1. Ensure you build a team of people who share your Values and care about the same things you do. 2. Develop a simple, logical and repeatable way of doing every task and train your team to follow it. 3. Look for everyday opportunities to communicate with your team - to give them constructive feedback, say well done and give ‘specific’ praise. 4. Review each team member's progress formally at least every 6 months, and don’t forget to ask what the main thing is they want from you as their manager. 5. Share every success with the whole team and let them know how much you value their contribution. A high performing team will make your life so much easier, and is great fun to work with, so it's worth putting the effort in to build one!
