Tackle any challenge on the fly.

Being an effective supervisor or front-line manager means understanding your employees and what drives their motivation and productivity—but that’s easier said than done. In this 3-day leadership program, you’ll receive practical tools and training to coach and motivate staff with a hands-on approach, effectively managing conflicts and becoming an outstanding leader.

Inspire Your Team With Active Leadership

Our specialized leadership training program equips supervisors and front-line managers with a set of applied leadership skills to tackle everyday tasks and challenges. Improve your team’s productivity and boost morale with new coaching methods. Learn effective delegation and communication techniques to provide constructive, ethical feedback.

From training new employees to coaching existing ones, you’ll discover new ways to motivate teams and improve performance. You’ll discuss issues, practice new skills and participate in realistic team simulations so you can apply them directly to your role.

This program is ideal for aspiring and current supervisors and team performance managers, including positions like department supervisors in business and government, office managers and business administrators, team leaders and regional supervisors, plant and production managers and front-line managers, and specialists in human resources, organizational training and industrial relations.
