On Friday,
Joe was a craftsman. There were five in his crew and it was a good one.
But on Monday, Joe became a foreman, and many things changed — his
job title, the kind of work he was expected to do, and even his status
on and off the jobsite. Exhilarating, but a real challenge, and a lot
depends on how he handles it.
To be
a successful construction supervisor, Joe must “step up” in
many ways — in his attitude; in the skills he develops to carry out
his basic day-to-day responsibilities; in the way he deals with problems
and special situations. And, Joe can’t do it by himself — he
has to get results through other people.
Stepping Up To Supervisor explains the basic
ideas, techniques, and skills every supervisor needs to be effective.
It shows what lies ahead and presents strategies and checklists to help
anticipate each new challenge and deal with it — by delivering work
that’s first-rate quality, working safely, and keeping a crew on
schedule and under budget.

SELF-STUDY FOR
BUSY PEOPLE
Stepping Up To Supervisor presents more than 60 topics,
but it gets right to the point — the book is only 108 pages. Each
topic is covered in one or two pages, so each person can work through
the book at his own pace, an hour or two at a time.
This is
an active book; many topics involve exercises, problems, and cases that
invite creative thinking, problem solving, and decision making.

ALSO
DESIGNED FOR 2-HOUR
WORKSHOPS
A
54-page Leader’s Guide presents objectives and guidelines
for a 2-hour workshop, a 4-hour workshop, and a 6-hour workshop —
2-hour sessions which can be delivered in a classroom or at a jobsite.
On a jobsite, 2-hour sessions enable supervisors to get their crews started,
break away for the workshop, then get back to their crews before lunch
or quitting time. A printed copy is $10 or click above to download it free.

— and give them equal emphasis!
