Mentoring junior site supervisors can be a rewarding and beneficial experience for both you and your mentees. As a senior site supervisor, you have valuable skills and knowledge to share with the next generation of construction professionals. But mentoring is not a one-way street. You can also learn a lot from your mentees, such as new perspectives, techniques, and technologies. In this article, we will explore some of the benefits of mentoring junior site supervisors and how you can make the most of this opportunity.
In my experience at L&T, mentoring junior site supervisors is fundamental for nurturing professional development and achieving excellence. Through mentoring, we share essential skills, refine leadership capabilities, and showcase expertise in construction management.
By providing guidance and support to our mentees, we cultivate trust and gain valuable insights into the dynamics of the younger workforce, enabling us to tailor our leadership approach accordingly. Ultimately, mentoring plays a pivotal role in driving both personal and organizational success, fostering a positive work culture, and fostering ongoing improvement across our construction sites.
.first you must learn whom the person is and how they conduct themselves in terms of background and culture, then learn how they interact with the Client’s personell then, get feedback on lessons learned from the individual to determine the guidance they require. Lessons can only be learned through value feedback on both good and bad, from both the Junior and the Client to have the full picture.
Mentoring is always a two-way process. Juniors are the window to a new generation, a new way of thinking and approaching life. For a mentor are an honour, a privilege, and an opportunity to transition mindset from an older generation to a newer one.
