Supervisory Skills for Production, Service, and Support Team Supervisors

Develop Skills and Behaviors that Supervisory Team Leaders Use Daily

Major focus:

  1. Understand the role and responsibilities of front-line leaders

  2. Use Personal Behavioral Styles (DISC) to self-assess, read others, and adapt to their communication and motivational needs

  3. Establish goals, responsibilities, and performance expectations

  4. Give positive feedback when expectations are met

  5. Confront when expectations are not met

  6. Support innovation and continuous improvement with financial rationale

  7. Know how to motivate others with logic, emotions (intuitive), and credibility

  8. Focus on maintaining the unorganized environment

Front-line team leaders with supervisory responsibilities must use a variety of tools to maintain good relationships with workers while using a no-nonsense approach when quality, safety, and production numbers are needed. Positioned between the demands of management and front-line team members, knowledge and skills must include the ability to juggle the various priorities and ambiguities while maintaining production and keeping to the budget. The models and tools presented in this workshop make that juggling easier and more effective. In turn, the supervisor has time to be proactive and entrepreneurial in exploring innovative continuous improvement initiatives.

Unfortunately in this time of critical cost control, organizations promote from within and don't invest in supervisory skills learning to develop competencies of the newly appointed leader. As a result, the attitudes, behaviors, and approaches are perpetuated by new supervisors "intuitively" in what they feel is the most effective approach. And without focused skill training how did they learn the approach? By observing previous supervisors? By listening to others? By reading books? By watching television? In these highly competitive times can you afford to let the performance of your organization be left to how it was done in the past? This course will ground the supervisor, whether new or seasoned, in proven fundamental skills to gain a competitive advantage and to meet the organization's goals and objectives.
