Details

The Professional Supervisor Course is an excellent foundation course to introduce a new or experienced leader of a small team, to the roles and responsibilities of a supervisor. We cover the dynamics of having to get work done alongside your colleagues and cover essential skills and understanding needed to deliver value to your team and to the organisation, while keeping your calm and handling the pressures of the role. Do not underestimate this course - this is leadership fundamentals at grassroots level and the principles apply throughout business.

 

Specific learning objectives include:

  • Clarify the scope and nature of a supervisory position.
  • Learn some ways to deal with the challenges of the role.
  • Recognize the responsibilities you have as a supervisor, to yourself, your team, and your organization.
  • Learn key techniques to help you plan and prioritize effectively.
  • Acquire a basic understanding of leadership, team building, communication, and motivation, and what part they play in effective supervision.
  • Develop strategies for motivating your team, giving feedback, and resolving conflict.

This course would suit anyone new to supervising or who is being groomed for a supervisory position.  It is also an essential course for anyone who has been supervising for a while and who needs some new tools and handles to do the job better.

Pre-Requisites

Work experience in teams is essential to understand the dynamics of what takes place in groups in the workplace.  A good grasp of business English, both spoken and written is helpful, at about a minimum of Grade 11 level, although the concepts can be adapted for a technical audience utilizing plain and simple language.

  2. If you have fewer delegates and cannot pay for 6, we can negotiate a shortened course where some of the time will be spent in blended learning - watching videos and doing tutorials and exercises with some contact time with the trainer. We would want to discuss what your core needs are so that we cover those aspects. You need to have paid for 3 delegates at least.
