Learn to effectively utilize crucial management tools to help you lead and motivate your team. This workshop equips participants with proven supervisory techniques that can be put into action immediately.

Most supervisors are promoted into the role of supervisor because they are good at doing the job, not because they are good at supervising others; that skill has to be learned. The focus will be on the necessary tools and skills for building personal confidence in their leadership role in the workplace whilst making the most of interpersonal interactions.

Delegates can discuss the problems they face and identify some of the challenges and solutions for the future.

By the end of the program, participants will be able to:

• Define the scope, nature and responsibility of the supervision role and the challenges this role places on them
• Effectively communicate verbally and non-verbally with others
• Apply their role as motivators
• Identify their teamwork style and build an effective team
