How to be a better Construction Site Supervisor?

I have been hired on at the supervisor position, I’m training for now. I have been a manager in the sales field for several years and Sergeant in the Marine Corp. I don’t have a lot of experience in the pipe laying business. They guys that I work for all know this. I’m not a fighter hardly a yeller. In the Marine Corp I had earned everything I got and it was easy to lead my men, but this is a different situation. Some of the guys that will be working for me have a problem with my age and my inexperience and have told me that they have a problem with me. What can I do to not let the situation get out of control and still get work done? This is a great opportunity for me and a great company. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thank You

First of all. IT’s worse than high school. Gossip, gossip, gossip. Start by figuring out who doesn’t have a problem. Make sure you develop a relationship. Just a chit-chat every other day… for a few minutes. It doesn’t matter that a few guys don’t like you. You can get rid of them eventually. Get a feel for the general attitude on site. Try to talk to someone new every day and ask them how it’s going. Being on the inside I have known the few disgruntled guys who have everything against the new guy. They don’t last long. We don’t give a sh#t. It’s just them and their attitude. And, it runs them off site. If you find there are some problems bring solutions, but, only if you know for sure you can solve them. Otherwise there will be talk, talk, talk. Be fair about OT and anything else. Always remember what you say and write it down for future reference. You need to be there for the guys like mommy and daddy. All the foremens talk about you. All the workers. Get used to it. Act like you mean business and if someone has a problem with your inexperience at least you have the maturity the position requires. Don’t be afraid to remind them of that. Sometimes they just need a foot in their mouth to shut up. And, that’s all it will take. Other times a way to get rid of the trouble makers will come…good luck hope it helps.
