It is a fact that nobody wants to fail at work. A good site manager accepts responsibility for the performance of his team, because he is responsible for his team and should try to avoid apportioning blame to others. This is a trait of weak site managers.
Failure on the construction site can be avoided by matching task to personal skill set and by setting realistic targets, incentives and work programmes when allocating work. Having done this, it is a case of monitoring people’s performance and taking stock of progress and quality of work, as it is with some, a human trait to cut corners. A good construction manager is in the business of getting others to do that which they do not see the necessity of doing to meet the required standard of work safely.
The NVQ process requires that the candidate is able to articulate and record how the candidate allocates work and checks people’s performance.
