Key Supervisor Skill Set

Key Supervisor Skill Set...getting control of the new role

People already have the knowledge and skill to perform in their area of expertise.  That’s probably why they got promoted in the first place.  But being a supervisor demands a new type of skill.

That’s exactly why we designed this course: to provide new or potential supervisors with practical tips, techniques and solutions needed for success without incurring the hard knocks that come with trial and error or are ‘thrown to the wolves’.

This three-day course identifies the relationships between worker and supervisor.  It also shows the key ingredients of leadership, motivation, effective teams and how to efficiently galvanise the tasks, teams and individuals to achieve planned objectives.

Who will benefit

New, current or potential supervisors, team leaders or leading hands who need to develop an understanding of the key elements of the role. The programme is also beneficial for others without formal supervisory training or who are aspiring to the next level of a nationally recognised training or fulfills acting role.
