How the customer perceives the foreman’s crew is fundamental to the success of a contractor’s business. In this dynamic seminar, foremen learn how to more effectively handle tight deadlines, tight margins, and increase customer satisfaction. Production and maintenance landscape foremen have unique needs, as they have to wear two hats: worker and leader. Foremen have to walk the fine line in working side by side with the employee and having to direct, motivate, and critique at the same time. Managing former peers and friends can be especially difficult; dealing with problems and obstacles can take skills that can only be developed by stepping out of the work environment for a few days, learning best practices, applying them in a learning environment through role play, and then going back and applying them on the job.
