New supervisors often express a multitude of concerns: How can I supervise and lead people who were once my peers? How do I build respect and credibility in my new role, even though I lack experience? How do I delegate rather than "do"? How do I effectively handle disciplinary problems and motivate low performers?
Supervisory Skills for New Supervisors is a valuable two-day program designed to give supervisors who have been in the position less than one year a realistic perspective of their responsibilities. The course is structured to ensure an understanding of the scope of managerial tasks and the effective use of skills. Rather than just teaching theory, the seminar focuses on the skills and techniques that work on the job. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with experienced faculty members, and peers in similar positions.
Supervisors will:
- Learn how to transition into and understand the role of a leader
- Gain insights into basic leadership and problem solving skills
- Learn effective time management techniques and how to effectively set priorities
- Learn how to understand, accept and supervise individuals with differing styles and personality types
- Understand your personality style and how it affects your interactions with others
- Improve your coaching skills, which will help you teach employees to assess, reinforce and take responsibility for their own performance
- Learn how to establish trust and credibility
