Effective Leadership and Supervisory Skills (17th –20th June 2024)
About the Programme
Being appointed a supervisor is recognition by management of one’s past achievements and also a vote of confidence by your team members. As a supervisor you are responsible not only for your own work but also for the performance of the people you supervise. This comes with a lot of responsibilities. Your new subordinates will have differing personalities, goals, and abilities. Furthermore, many of them won’t have your own desire to work hard day after day.
You will also have to work with your colleague supervisors and your new bosses. This requires effective leadership, teamwork and cooperation skills. How do you motivate people to achieve high standards of performance? How do you communicate effectively with your subordinates? How do you work with people outside your department? How do you manage worker job performance issues?
This four-day intensive programme is to help participants overcome the many leadership and supervisory problems they will encounter in their role as supervisors. It focuses on providing easy-to-use skills that will produce highly effective leaders and make their job less difficult. It concentrates on the nitty-gritty details the supervisor has to contend with. Tutorial sessions, video presentations, case studies, and practical exercises make this an action packed four day programme.
