Construction Project Communication Methodology
As construction project leaders, communicating effectively within our project teams has become critical and essential. Just like many other aspects of our industry, it is important to have and use the right tool for the job; this includes our communication tools.
When is it best to e-mail, text, pick up the phone or schedule a face-to-face meetup? When do you need to implement management communication tools vs. leadership communication tools? How can we motivate the everchanging massive teams we work with on our projects? In this session, we will explain the difference between construction project management and leadership, the different communication methods, and when it’s most effective to use the different methods based on if you need to motivate by managing or leading (or both) within a project. When we better understand the why, we can more efficiently and effectively choose the how.
About the Instructors
Well Works was founded by Amy Powell, who designed, built, and conducts leadership mindset training for those within the construction industry. With over 19 years of construction experience, the commercial project manager turned Director of Training and Outreach recognized that the success of our projects relies not only on our management experience and skills but even more so on our leadership skills and abilities. This was when she noticed the lack of training and information focused on the “boots on the ground” leadership to best lead our diverse construction teams.
Years later, she was tired of waiting and looking for the “right tools for the job,” so she decided to roll up her sleeves, collect her MEd in Adult Education, and build the tools to equip fellow industry members with leadership mindsets that not only improve the success of our projects but also positively impact individual well-being, provide increased tolerance for stress, and increase our communication effectiveness, inherently improving our projects, project teams and industry as a whole.
