Effective Supervisory Skills – FLDP1
MODULE 1
Frontline Leaders (or supervisors) are first level of leaders who lead or supervise a group of followers to achieve the operational level strategies of the organizations.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The transition from excellent performer to competent supervisor can be trying and it demands new skill-sets. Today’s supervisors must position themselves as frontline leaders, not just supervising their subordinates’ work. As the workplace gets more complex and demands for higher quality and performance are increasing, the supervisor’s role has become more challenging today than ever before. Even relationships with other are becoming more complicated and demanding. In face of such challenges, frontline leaders have to be effective if they are to help people invest the best of their minds, hearts and hands into their work. Frontline leaders must move from doing things to people and toward doing more things with people. The new fast changing business environment also requires frontline leaders to be able to cope with ambiguity, to be productive. It is a role that no longer must focus primarily “downward” control; it’s expanded role which now must foster collaboration, involvement, and initiative – – not only downward, but upward and across the organization as well.
This training course will help both the recently appointed, as well as those long serving frontline leaders or supervisors to feel confident in their role to manage people, to take up today’s leadership challenges, to be more productive and effective in an ever changing environment. This foundational course is crucial as it focuses on the essential skills needed to excel in a today’s frontline leadership or supervisory position.
