This training is suitable for: New supervisors, or those who hope to take over a supervisory position in the future. It is also well suited for experienced supervisors who would like to fine-tune their supervisory abilities.

Dr. Geary will start off by presenting what leadership is and how it differs from management. Participants will then examine the supervisor's role in leading and motivating employees through needs assessment tools and appropriate leadership style.

Workshop Overview: Engaged and inspired employees will work up to 30% harder than their counterparts. This workshop will look at how supervisors can use their leadership skills to encourage such exemplary performance. They will learn how to inspire employees by helping them see the connection between their own job and the vision of the organization. They will also be exposed to a leadership tool that will help them use different leadership styles based on the needs of their followers. They will learn different ways to motivate and inspire their employees. They will also look at how to build a high-performing team. Their role in leading and implementing change will also be discussed.
