SiteLeader Academy is a leadership program designed to teach and empower existing and up and coming field trade supervisors in the ability to lead others. The old way of promoting trade team members because they are “good at the trade” is outdated and unhealthy to a caring organization. In other words, success in a trade role does not equal success in leading others and being good at your job does not necessarily mean that you are equipped to lead people. Surveys have proven that the latest generation coming into the workforce is looking for a good working relationship with their coworkers, managers and leaders within their organization. SiteLeader Academy will equip those you have designated as field leaders with the skills needed to thoughtfully care for those reporting to them with six two-hour group training sessions and six two-hour 1×1 coaching sessions with each participant.
Before anyone can begin to equip themselves as a leader, they must make an attempt to understand themselves as a person. Studies have shown that the majority of us believe we are self-aware but the majority of us are actually not self-aware. Self-awareness is the ability to understand ourselves and others.
Continuing the topic of self-awareness, it is important to develop the ability to understand other personality traits. Most importantly, leaders must learn the art of communicating with various personalities.
Leaders must stay humble by making things more about others and less about themselves. When leading a team, it is easy to lose sight of this important trait, however, it will come naturally after consistant practice.
Curiosity is defined as “a strong desire to know or learn something”. Showing curiosity and a genuine interest in those that we are leading is important and helps build a working relationship.
Leaders must have the ability to understand the needs of others and be aware of other’s feelings. Showing empathy to those around you is the key to building trust in relationships.
