Supervisory Management
When staff are promoted into a supervisory position, they often have superb technical skills. This is the reason why they are promoted, yet they lack the very different skills needed to supervise others. This one-day course gives you an overview of the key skills you need to supervise staff effectively. It focuses on the different ‘hats’ a supervisor needs to wear, and how to move away from the ‘doing’ and take on the ‘supervising’ element of the role.
