@asktheforeman: You’ve got two sides on every jobsite. Some say a foreman needs to know how to do every job he’s directing. Others say leadership, planning, and keeping the crew moving matter more. 👷 Which side are you on? Defend your answer! 👇 #Construction #Foreman #ConstructionLife #SkilledTrades #AskTheForeman

If he can’t Physically do it, that’s ok. If he doesn’t KNOW HOW to do it- that’s a problem

If the foreman can't do the job , why is he telling someone else to do it?

My 88 year old grandpa can no longer do the work, but when he says “do it like this”, you should do it how he says to do it. That’s my input.

As a foreman it's more important to be a strong leader / manager and have excellent organizational, technical and problem solving skills than to know how to be a pipe fitter, carpenter, plumber etc. We need a solid working knowledge of the tasks our crews do but at the end of the day someone has to manage the crew, the engineers, the customer, higher management, EH&S, the budget, the permits, the schedule etc.

First rule of leadership, if you are unwilling or unable to do it then you should not expect those under your “leadership “ to do it.

It depends… I he doesn’t know, but willing to listen to the team in order to keep the bus moving, it might work

I never tell my guys what to do. I simply ask them and they do it. If it's a task we all hate then we're all jumping in to knock it out together as a team. We're all talking shit, but it's getting done.
