New Supervisors & Emerging Leaders
Introduction
The world-wide skill shortage results in the increasingly rapid promotion of workers to management and supervisory positions.
Increasingly, people are promoted to leadership positions as a reward for good technical performance. The further up the hierarchy people are promoted the further removed they are from their technical knowledge base. In the meantime the only leadership skill they’ve acquired was “on the job”.
This lack of leadership skills often leads to mismanagement of personnel, job dissatisfaction and a higher turnover of workers.
This has significant implications on safety performance and production output since it is difficult to create the workplace climate and culture with a high turnover of workers.
Objectives
To provide new and emerging leaders with the leadership skills needed to fulfil their roles as group and team leaders.
The course provides the theoretical foundation for development of powerful managers with a broad organisational view who yet maintain a sensitivity to individual needs and aspirations in a team environment.
Key Benefits
Improved “people” skills
Improved communication skills
Decreased stress levels
Better team performance
Increased Awareness of self and others
Target Audience
- Positive impact on safety and production
- Current supervisors and managers wanting to refresh their skills.
- Newly appointed supervisors.
- Learner managers and learner supervisors.
- Employees being considered for a management position within their company (Emerging Leaders).
Duration
1 Day workshop
