CHECKPOINT 360°™
The CheckPoint 360°™ is an employee assessment tool for leaders that is used primarily to evaluate the leadership skills and effectiveness of your managers and leaders.
This assessment compiles a feedback system from your boss, direct reports and peers with a personalized program for
developing specific leadership skills based on that feedback. The reports explain how to improve training, management techniques, and communication for greater success.
What is its purpose? The CheckPoint 360°™ is a 360 degree leadership assessment tool used to help managers identify and prioritize their own development opportunities and leadership skills. It is also used to surface management issues
that could lead to low employee productivity, morale, satisfaction, and turnover. The CheckPoint 360°™ evaluation alone is a $350 value.

LEADERSHIP Customers may punch list the bricks and mortar, but their expectations are fulfilled by how we
have serviced their needs on time and meeting standards of quality, doing it all safely and
within budget. That is our service to them. To be
successful in that service requires great influence of the many and diverse elements working
together, meeting the daily challenges of each
construction project. Leadership is what makes that all possible.
FOR CONTRACTORS DEVELOPED BY CONTRACTORS The program is designed for the participant
to plan his or her own improvement—not to
emulate a history book hero or some popular figure who happens to have written a book.
Participants will leave the program with new
insights and suggestions for their own personal journey of improvement.
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY Leadership is not restricted to race, gender, ethnicity, age, family ties, education, training, position, or a host of other
preconceptions. Everyone can be a leader from the first day laborer to the retiring CEO. The program is intended to help each participant create an action plan to achieve a new level of excellence in their careers and lives.
LEADERSHIP FOR AND BY CONTRACTORS
1
LEADERSHIP FOCUS What is leadership and what is expected of a leader? This segment looks at what others expect of a leader, and what the individual participant believes his or her leadership goals are.
DYNAMICS OF LEADERSHIP
2
What are the qualities of a leader in relationship to more natural
tendencies to manage? The balance between leadership and management (particularly in an industry that uses the term “project management”) is carefully analyzed to promote full understanding of expectations in relationship to each participant’s current level of performance.
3 4
PERSONAL BEHAVIOR AND LEADERSHIP A profile assessment allows each individual to self-evaluate their
tendencies and styles, as well as help them formulate insights into
team building with individuals of similar and different styles and needs.
MEASURING LEADERSHIP ABILITIES An assessment tool helps each participant recognize where they are in their current development, including both strengths and weaknesses.
The assessment focuses on where improvements can most effectively be made to achieve the greatest impact.
5
LEADERSHIP STRATEGIES A plan to implement improvement from the current level of achievement to greater levels of success.
LEADERSHIP
THE BOTTOM LINE
Those who talk about the weather still do nothing about it. For many, that is their approach to leadership; complain about “where have all the leaders gone?” But do nothing to correct the situation. Unlike the weather, however, we can improve leadership in our companies and our industry.
The two issues generally given for keeping the status quo and not improving leadership are time and money. Some even
subscribe to the procrastinator’s motto by figuring there will be more time tomorrow, so we will improve leadership then. “Today is the first day of the rest of my life, but who’s worried about it? So is tomorrow!” But a tomorrow with more time than today never comes.
There is, of course, a real consideration related to money in an industry with such a mobile workforce. Are we training our workers who will stay with us, or will they move on and improve someone else’s projects? Nonetheless, there is one thing
worse than training or educating our employees and then losing them, and that is not educating them and keeping them.
The cost of ignorance in the narrow margin industry that construction is can be horrendous. Tight and unproven schedules that are not met, deliveries that are late, incorrect phasing of the trades, unanswered “crashes” in field conditions are just a few of the ways improperly trained and unmotivated members of the construction team can evaporate profits and destroy customer relationships.
Based on the two reservations of time and money, the AGC California Leadership Development Program is adapted from a nationally recognized program designed with the following criteria: 1. Leadership has to go to the bottom line.
2. Leadership has to be sustainable and stay in the bottom line.
3. Leadership needs to be less expensive than continuing status quo.
4. Leadership improvement must fit within the whitewater schedule of constructors and not be “pie in the sky” temporary ideas that do not work.
