Business Coaching Tips For Effective Supervision From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
In today’s workplace there are daily examples of dysfunctional and ineffective supervision. Many people in supervisory roles have not been given the necessary training to be effective supervisors. Here are ten (10) tips from your strategic thinking coach to share with the supervisors in your businesses and organizations.

Supervisory Skills
Supervisors are responsible for not only meeting corporate goals, they are also responsible for bridging the gap between upper management and front-line employees. Those supervisors that take this task seriously and utilize their supervisory skills are the ones that have a dramatic and positive effect on the overall business as well as their staff’s performance and behavior. Are your supervisor ready for the challenges ahead? Do they need training?
General Contractors Liability Insurance, Certificates of Insurance, the Misnomers
General Contractors Liability Insurance, Additional Insureds, Certificates of Insurance, the Misnomers. Regarding General Contractors Liability Insurance and General Liability Insurance Certificates, there is a grand misnomer running rampant through the construction industry in NY, NJ and MA. I only speak about these states because I am familiar with their laws as they apply to the insurance, construction industry and the labor law. Please check your federal (OSHA), state, city and local government for laws as they apply to the construction industry and the labor law.

A Better Approach to Career Coaching: Putting Your Natural Skills to Work
Historically career inventories have measured the extent to which your interests are similar to the interests of people in a particular career or profession. The problem is that while you may have similar interests as those in the construction industry, you may have little or no desire to do what someone in the construction industry does. ACI for Coaches approaches the issue of career selection differently by using strength-based coaching.
Want to Change Employee Behavior? Change Yourself First
The greatest epiphany we see in the managers, supervisors and team leaders we train and coach is that the behaviors (good and bad) of the workgroup often reflect the approach taken by the leader. After learning how to be more constructive, supervisors will say that employees are being more positive, helpful and accountable. The leader changed first - then the employees changed!
Basic Feedback Should Be BASIC
One of the key skills of supervisors is giving feedback to employees about their performance. Feedback, of course, includes praise for a job well done as well as constructive observations about how things could be done better. Apprehension about providing feedback to employees is particularly acute among newly promoted supervisors. This is often the result of a lack of the supervisory training.
Stop Enabling Problem Employees
Supervisors often lose control of the situation by trying to be understanding and kind about following the rules. They make small exceptions that end up becoming habits, and soon the rules are not enforced at all. It is important to be sensitive to emergency or exception situations, but it is equally important to enforce the rules with an even hand. It is an area where many supervisors struggle. This article suggests an antidote.

One of the most important components of a franchisee investment is the construction work done on the franchisee location. Whether it's remodeling an existing location or site preparation on a new location the construction work that's done represents a major expenditure of capital for a franchisee.

Construction & the M&A Market (under $25 million revenues)
A brief informal update of the status of the construction merger and acquisition market or business brokerage market as of the Spring or Summer of 2011.

Why All The Interest in Detroit?
Is Detroit going through some very tough times? Yes. And that is precisely why there is an opportunity. For example, when the construction industry was booming, heavy equipment such as excavators, loaders and the like could only be purchased at retail prices. When the construction market collapsed, suddenly you could buy those same pieces of heavy equipment for pennies on the dollar. That was an opportunity for those who had the means to take advantage and buy while the market was down.
