New Supervisor
The New Supervisor course is perfect for new or inexperienced supervisors as they navigate the tricky transition from team member to take-charge leader.
Management and leadership skills are a discipline that can be learnt, and this accelerated two-day New Supervisor course will help build confidence as you adjust to your new role, purpose, responsibilities, expectations, and challenges.
The course teaches new supervisors about themselves, their leadership style, their communication patterns, and helps them determine where there are opportunities to improve their interactions and skills as supervisors.
Participants gain a greater awareness about how their teams operate and how to supervise them well. Each course component builds on the last, going deeper as participants are exposed to new challenges.
This learning process gives new supervisors the tools and self-awareness to take back to work, so you can practice and learn what works for you; and define your own leadership and management style and approach.
Discover a toolbox of highly practical tools and techniques to help you work effectively with others, create direction, alignment, commitment, motivate and engage your team, and bring out the best in people.
Who should attend?
This course has been designed for aspiring supervisors, newly promoted supervisors, and even experienced managers who want to re-set their team leadership and foundation management skills.
