Congratulations... You're a Supervisor!

People aren’t born knowing how to manage others, and supervisory positions are often awarded to people who have never supervised before. Leading a team requires skill just like any other job task, but training to acquire that skill isn’t necessarily always provided. This course is designed for first-time or new supervisors, and introduces a wide variety of skill sets required for effectively supervising others. Whether it’s learning how to give non-threatening feedback, becoming a better listener, understanding others’ personal styles, or mediating a conflict – you’ll learn tips and strategies to help you through almost any supervisory situation. Designed to instill confidence and inspire new supervisors to embrace the challenge, Congratulations – You’re a Supervisor! is the first step in becoming the leader you know you can be.

In "Congratulations... You're a Supervisor!" Mike Wicks shares the secrets of becoming a chameleon and opens the door to increased sales, better customer service and even improved personal relationships.
