John Koontz
The effective management of time is one of a
jobsite supervisor's greatest challenges and is
often the root cause of their greatest failures.
Construction productivity experts have known
for many years that journeyman productivity has a
direct correlation to a foreman's effectiveness.
A foreman's effectiveness is also directly correlated
to how effi ciently and wisely they use their own
time. This session will focus on the practical time
management methods and techniques a foreman
can easily use to increase management effi ciency
and effectiveness. The session will include the
following time management topics: Utilizing Quiet
Time, Time Ownership Attitude, Delegation, Managing
the Telephone, Task Prioritization, Daily and Weekly
Planning, Using Calendars and Lists, Managing Meetings,
Organization, and Managing Drop-in Visitors.
"John Koontz is a great instructor and always uses
real world problems and answers. This course is
one that every pipefi tter foreman should attend."
