Effective supervision contributes directly to mission effectiveness at your nonprofit. It is critical to maintaining a productive staff in the face of shifting and competing priorities. Strong supervision creates a culture of mutual respect in which employees and supervisors communicate regularly and clearly about job-related expectations, tasks and overall performance. This highly participatory training is designed for supervisors with all levels of experience.

Note: This workshop is required in order to participate in Effective Supervision Part II.

Supervisors will:

  • Identify your preferred supervisory style
  • Learn to recognize what supervisory approaches are most effective under different conditions
  • Consider when to adapt your style and practice doing so
  • Strengthen a variety of critical forms of supervisory communication

Audience

Supervisors with all levels of experience. This is a great training for first timers who are looking for a foundation as well as seasoned managers looking to spice up their supervision.
