Description

Effectively carrying out a supervisor role is more "art" than science. Often, managers are left on their own to try and figure out how to implement their supervisor duties. Unskilled supervision can create organizational cultures that are ineffective at best and “toxic” at worst. When supervisors understand the expectations of their role, they are able to supervise in a way that fosters healthy working relationships with each employee that reports to them. This, in turn, creates thriving, inclusive organizational cultures.  

This highly interactive and popular virtual training provides participants with immediately implementable tools and strategies.

Topics include:

•  Cultivating self-awareness and emotional intelligence
• Understanding privilege and power in your supervisor role
• Holding difficult conversations
