Successful work at a construction or production site depends not only on the professionalism of the team, but also on the personality of the person who leads it. A competent foreman can effectively organize the process, skillfully get out of conflict situations and achieve an excellent result.
Necessary
Personal files of employees
Instructions
Step 1
Write down the foreman's functionality. Clearly defined job responsibilities will not only help determine the selection criteria for candidates, but will also be an excellent instruction for the selected leader.
Step 2
Examine the personal files of employees. Experience in this area is far from the main criterion for choosing a foreman. Try to rely on the candidate's organizational skills or existing administrative work. These are the skills that will help the employee lead the team.
Step 3
Observe the work of all employees for some time. Try to identify a leader - a person who competently organizes the process, makes decisions, and also most willingly and easily contacts with superiors. See how the rest of the staff reacts to his behavior. The foreman should also be an informal leader, whose opinion is truly respected by others.
Step 4
In case you do not have a ready-made team, let the best employee form it himself. If it is possible to recruit staff from outside or from within your organization, give the opportunity to do so. As a result, you will get a well-chosen team. An experienced foreman certainly has many acquaintances, whose skills and experience he knows well. All you have to do is to approve the candidates and monitor further work.
Step 5
Having chosen a candidate for the position of a foreman, start assigning him small but important areas of work. Offer to draw up a plan for a certain reporting period, purchase the necessary materials. Try to create situations in which the employee will have to take responsibility and make decisions quickly. If he will cope with such tasks, appoint him to the post of foreman.
