Training: The Fifth Part of the System
In this blog, I’m wrapping up our discussion on building the right culture for foremen and crews and now, it’s time to talk about training.
We’ve already covered winning over the workforce, keeping the project clean, safe, and organized, and setting up effective orientation and onboarding. At this point, you’ve established a solid on-site culture your foremen and workers can thrive in.
Now, for the fifth part of the system training I recommend you prioritize it for your supers and foremen. While I highly recommend training with Elevate Construction (yes, we do it at a sacrifice because our mission is to teach a better way of building), there are other excellent ways to skill up your team:
- Take the Takt Production System Virtual Training.
- Read the book for your role, whether superintendent, foreman, or surveyor.
- Attend your role-specific boot camp.
You can find our books on Amazon and see event details at elevateconstructionevents.com.
Why Training Matters
Without training on these systems as a team, you risk falling back into old habits. The key is to help people:
- Know what is expected, 2) stay motivated to do it, and 3) have the path cleared for them. Training handles the first two.
Reflection Questions
- Has your team been trained on the Takt Production System?
- Have your supers and foremen read The Art of the Builder books for their roles?
- Have they attended their role-specific boot camp?
Take the average score across your answers. If it’s below 80%, identify the exact actions needed to elevate your team and leadership.
On we go!
Key Takeaway
Training isn’t an optional add-on, it’s the glue that holds your project culture and systems together. Without it, even the best processes can crumble under old habits. Equip your team, and you’ll keep progress flowing.
