Basic Supervision and Leadership!

basicsuperv"No job is going to change more...and few people in the work force
are less prepared for change... we need a stronger, more confident,
more responsive first line supervisor."
Peter Drucker

This fast paced course is designed to provide the specific skills to learn how to:

  • Act Like a Supervisor
  • Improve Supervisory Effectiveness
  • Build Trust and Commitment
  • Create a "High Involved" Work Force

Your organization's success depends on how much the Supervisor understands his/her role and its challenges.  The new worker is more independent, more resourceful and wants a say.  And, they do not respond well to PUSH, CONTROL, and CONFIRM.

New and different attitudes and behavior are needed to meet the supervisory challenge.  Reorganizing, trimming the ranks, and reducing budgets means that there are more results expected from the smaller work force.  This course is EXCITING, CHALLENGING, THOUGHT PROVOKING AND FUN, TOO!
