Laing O’Rourke teams have completed four courses so far this year, following the recognition by bosses that Operation Teamleader really works. There was an interesting mix of colleagues, from site foremen and site agents to senior designers and office managers, and their different experiences and skills were evident in the practical aspects of the course. The main theme of all of the courses has been the importance of standing back as a leader, to allow you to take a helicopter view of the situation and direct the team to move forward efficiently.  The desire to ‘jump into the hole and show the lads how it’s done’ was strong, but by the end of the course everyone saw the  benefits of operating the InSpiral system of Leadership. Many of the participants were team leaders, whether on construction sites or in the office, and they left Operation Teamleader ready to inspire their teams with their new confidence and SAPTHA briefing skills.
