The announcements have been made and the congratulations are over?..now what? As a new supervisor, the vast number of decisions you are suddenly facing can be overwhelming. And one of the major reasons first-time supervisors fail is that they are not given adequate training or support. Most companies have some manager training, but it usually falls short, covering just the mechanics of the job. The training doesn't help develop the skills you need be successful: how to communicate with employees effectively, manage your time more efficiently and juggle multiple priorities.
Poor management leads to increased turnover, loss of customers, litigation, and lost profits, but for most people, management skills do not come naturally - they must be developed. Your organization has already made the investment in you; now equip yourself with the tools you need to succeed as a leader, coach, team builder, and motivator.
This unique training course is designed to equip new supervisors (like yourself) with the fundamental skills you need to skillfully shift from team member to leader. Split into 2 blocks, you can attend Block I: The Essentials, Block II: Beyond the Basics or BOTH! The choice is yours!
