CROSS TRAINING FOR GREATNESS
The construction industry often requires people to ‘wear many hats,’ ‘carry many titles’...‘perform many jobs.’
While this comes naturally to some, many more are easily confused when asked to step over imaginary lines.
“Cross Training for Greatness” explores six essentials of greatness as they apply to construction environments
and equips people from across the construction spectrum with the necessary tools to help align them for
greatness.

Motivation – aligning attitudes
Cooperation – aligning actions
Collaboration – aligning thoughts
Integration – aligning goals
Corroboration – aligning voices
Facilitation – aligning energies

Using this approach, the six essentials serve to cross-train everyone in an organization. Thought and
processes no longer happen in a vacuum. Everyone is aware and engaged. Interfacing people, departments
and entities all experience mutual benefit.
Learning Objectives / Outcomes:
• Know six areas where alignment brings about greatness
• Be able to identify specific ways in which they interface with people, thought, and processes and how
appropriate alignment is necessary
• Know how important it is to learn from those around them
• Be more willing to engage in teaching others
• Be energized to move from understanding the theory to practicing the concepts learned
Note: This program is also adapted for Journeymen and is offered as “Construction Journeyman Cross
Training.” Refer to page 39
