How to Evaluate the Strengths (and Weaknesses) of Your Team

How to Evaluate the Strengths (and Weaknesses) of Your Team

Construction is a team sport.

Your success is a direct reflection of the performance of your individual team members and how well they function together.

Like a sports GM, you must constantly evaluate the quality of your team so that performance improves.

Here’s how to do it.
1. Create a spreadsheet.
2. Populate with name and position.
3. Evaluate each person in three areas:
– Technical Skills
– People Skills
– Desire/Will

The evaluation criteria:
Minus: Below standard
Neutral: At standard
Plus: Above standard

(Don’t overthink it)

Then evaluate their Potential: High, Medium, Low

Finally, select One Area of Improvement for each person.

Not 2 or 3.

1.

If your time is limited, only work with the high-potentials, they’ll give you the most bang for your buck.

Repeat the process every 90 days.

Over time: develop your high-potentials, manage your mediums, and remove your underperformers.

If you are consistent, the quality of your team will grow, and you’ll notice the difference in the profitability of your projects.
