How You Will Benefit
A supervisor pays more roles than just the overseer.
Supervisors often have to be mentors, delegators,
diplomats, and disciplinarians. Therefore,
supervisors have to know their employees’
strengths, weaknesses, triggers, and apprehensions
and have the communication skills necessary to
effectively steep employees in the right direction.
No matter how poor an employee’s behavior is, it is
ultimately up to the supervisor to correct the
behavior. Sometimes a bad supervisor can be the
source of all the organization’s problems. According
to a Huffington Post survey, employees with bad
managers are the least productive workers. In fact,
65% of respondents said they would take a new boss
over a pay raise!
This course is designed to help you understand you
organization’s problems and challenges at a deeper
level and give you the communication tools to
become an inspiring supervisor. In this guide you will
learn the proper recourse to take with problem
employees to resolve problems, create goals, work
through personal issues, and mediate conflict. As a
result you will be better able to understand your
employees’ behavior and motives and react
appropriately to them.
