Leadership Fundamentals for New Supervisors

Time Commitment: 2-day

9:00 am – 5:00 pm

Congratulations! You’ve been promoted to supervisor. So now it’s not what you know but your ability to teach others what you know that counts. It’s not your drive to get things done but your ability to motivate others to get them done. It’s not being a team member… it’s being the team leader. In other words, the skills that got you to supervisor can’t make you successful as a supervisor. To achieve success, you need a firm grasp of supervisory leadership skills – the skills you’ll learn at Leadership Fundamentals for New Supervisors. This intensive new seminar from Dale Carnegie Training® provides everything you need to know to achieve outstanding results through others. Of course, you cover the basics like planning, organizing and control, but the real focus is on building your interpersonal effectiveness. Spend two days with us and learn how to gain employee commitment, lead confidently and motivate employees to peak performance. Jump start your new career as a supervisor.
