Bring Out the Best in Your Team
4H's
____________________________________________________
Bring Out the Best In Your Team
The challenge, the opportunity of the empowering leader is to "bring out the best so results exceed high expecta-tions." Leaders do this by maximizing the engagement of every person on their team. You recognize that every member of your team has choices about what they do with their "three H's" - their hands, heads, and hearts. The empowering leader finds a way to more fully engage all three H's.
H1 - HANDS
The first H, hands, is the only H you can actually control - you control when associates are scheduled for work, their shift, role, and work station assignment. H1 - Your associates' physical capabilities: Experience on the job and train-ing improve physical capabilities. At some point, our physical capabilities, our dexterity and physical strength, actu-ally decline; we lose capability.
H2 - HEAD
You have a competitive advantage when everyone on your team brings more than their hands to the job, they think before they act. H2 - Understanding the context of the work being performed and the needs of the "downstream customer" naturally leads to improved performance. When everyone thinks about ways to improve their processes to reduce costs and improve outcomes, you are on the road to increased engagement and continuous improve-ment. Your team gets things done easier, faster, and safer. Your costs go down, your sales go up, and your safety incident rate improves. Applying imagination and creativity creates innovation. This ability may be limited by IQ.
H3 - HEART
Recent research shows that as people give their hearts to their efforts with passion, even their IQ increases. When associates care about creating improvement, they persist when they feel like quitting, and they dream up ways to make things better. When everyone on your team cares and gives it their hearts, there is passion in their perfor-mance. H3 - Emotional Quotient is the willingness to persist, commit, and care. This comes from a cause to cham-pion and a purpose to care about. This passion for improvement spills over to those around them. Now, this syner-gy takes your performance to record-setting levels. Obstacles are now seen as stepping stones. People don't stop, don't give up, and they don't beat their heads against the wall. Instead, they creatively go under or over the obsta-cle. It's important to remember that the third H, EQ, the emotional quotient, is the H that can fluctuate most on a dai-ly basis. When you find ways to ensure that everyone is putting their heart into their work in spite of difficulties at home or on the job, everyone wins.
H4 - HOLISTIC
With this level of engagement, now you have the "whole" person and everyone on the team. H4 is "Holistic Engage-ment." The exciting and rewarding thing about this level of engagement is that it's a win-win-win. Who wins? Your enterprise wins - you are more competitive; your customers win - they have a superior customer experience; and
most important, your team members win. They have fulfillment in and from their work.

It is my pleasure to invite you to NAWIC’s 62nd Annual Meeting and Education Conference, Aug. 16-19, 2017 at the Hyatt Regency Orange County in Anaheim, Calif. Women representing almost every facet of the construction indus-try will gather for education, networking and fun! You will not want to miss one minute of this capstone event for the 2016-2017 NAWIC year.
Each event, seminar subject, speaker and workshop has been planned with you in mind. Aimee Cohen, the conference keynote speaker, will inspire and educate with “Woman Up! Overcome the Seven Deadly Sins that Sabotage Your Suc-cess.” She will help you understand necessary action steps to transform your life and career.
Professional development seminars are filled to the brim with relevant information—information that will equip you to accelerate growth in your career. Linda Swindling will lead the conversation with “Ask Outrageously! The Secret to Getting What You Really Want,” the key to making the difference between success and failure in the personal and pro-fessional lives of women. We will hear from other speakers such as Katie Snapp, who will provide insight on “The Trouble with the Curve” as you transition from one career path to another or climb the ladder within your company. Also, included in this great lineup is Holly Hoffman, former “Survivor” reality show participant, who will help us understand how to “Thrive to Survive” and become a better leader, as well as Barbara Khozam, who will explain “How to Deliver Extraordinary Cus-tomer Service”.
Construction industry seminar speakers will share trends and cutting-edge information that can be utilized in your office as an employee or business owner. This information and knowledge will set you apart from the competition.
Association workshops led by NAWIC officers and national committee chairs will share resources available to help you become a leader in the industry through NAWIC leadership opportunities. This NAWIC connection will help build a per-sonal brand and develop a broad network of women leaders to encourage and support as you grow in the industry. Net-working will be a consistent component of this conference. The NAWIC Trade Show, Welcome Party, Industry Luncheon, and Awards Gala will give attendees ample opportunity to build important relationships for their future.
Build your education by learning from top construction industry and professional development experts. Build your career through the valuable network of NAWIC members, sponsors, and industry leaders at AMEC 2017. Build your future by participating in NAWIC leadership opportunities.
