Team Building

2010-10-12

There are some interesting challenges facing companies like yours today; growth, economics, downsizing, regulatory issues, and technological advancements, just to mention a few. Fortunately, you have some "super" workers. So super, in fact, you've promoted them to your supervisors.

By virtue of their new positions, do these new supervisors come equipped with the newly required skills not needed before? How about subordinate development, discipline, team building, conflict resolution, delegation, communication, motivation, and numerous others? Most do not. And where will they learn all this — on the job or at your expense?

Our Supervisor Development Program is designed to encourage supervisors in a process that results in personal and professional growth by developing the new skills they now require. Over our ten week process, your supervisors will develop and learn:

  • confidence, time management skills, techniques for better training, and how to be decision-makers;
  • the difference between authority and power;
  • the art of listening and how to develop their subordinates;
  • how to create an environment which motivates others for improved performance and how to be problem-solvers.

They become personal and organizational goal setters, understanding that they can achieve their goals by helping you to achieve yours. Through attitude development, behavioral management skills, and goal setting, the steps are shortened as the individual moves up the company ladder.

Don’t give your new supervisors “on the job” learning. Take advantage of what others like Adelphia Cable Communications, United States Gypsum, Johnson & Johnson, SL Industries, and Fieldcrest Mills already know. Here's what they say:

“They (our supervisors) have improved communications with their peers, subordinates, and superiors, and realized and used the need for active goal setting. They are more highly motivated to improve their technical and human relation skills.”
“I think the greatest endorsement is the fact that we are expanding the program at a higher level to include a greater number of individuals.”
“It has been one year since our employees completed the formal part of your Supervisor Development Program... our productivity has improved measurably since the ten week program started and we have maintained that improvement consistently.”

In today's business, the supervisor is the "main link" between the company's goals and the people who must accomplish those goals. Help them help you. Call us today.
