Supervisors set the tone for the team. Getting it right involves self-awareness, discipline, and training. But who has time to focus on personal growth when faced with the day-to-day challenges that come with the local government profession?
Enter the newly reimagined Effective Supervisory Practices Training Series. Based on the new 6th edition of ICMA’s bestselling Effective Supervisory Practices book, this six-part training series is designed to transform managers into leaders.
This interactive webinar series will demonstrate principles covered in Effective Supervisory Practices (6th Edition). Hosted by experienced managers and local government experts, this program is designed to impart real-life experience, best practices, and sound advice in the areas most important to a manager’s day-to-day role.
What You Will Learn
- The difference between leading and managing
- The tools to assist with establishing priorities and focusing work
- How to hire the right people for your organization
- The role in fostering a safe, harassment-free work environment
- How good supervisors can motivate employees to become productive and fulfilled
- How to turn a group of employees into a highly functioning team
Who Should Attend
This program is designed as a primer for new supervisors. It not only offers pragmatic recommendations about the day-to-day duties of a supervisor, but also offers guidance for addressing the more complex challenges all managers confront as they seek to effectively communicate, motivate, and model ethical decisions to lead a team.
