Train Supervisors to Become Excellent Everyday Leaders(And Equip Them to Deliver Your Desired Results)

Roger is a new supervisor. He is excited about starting his new job. In his vision, he sees himself as the

best supervisor of the organization and he vows to never follow the steps of his "terrible" and

"ineffective" supervisors. He is confident. He is a performer. He can show everyone how to do it right.

After a few weeks of applying what he thought to be the “ideal” way of excellent supervisors, Roge r

realized that his way does not work. His staff doesn't respond positively to his way of supervising. They

like the old way and they found it difficult to understand Roger’s way. He is confused and frustrated, and

a bit angry. He believes his staff resists change.

Ana has been employed in the company for 15 years. Because all the other employees are new, she was

promoted to the supervisor position when her supervisor retired.

She is afraid. She is not a people person. She does not like the attitude of the new employees she's going

to supervise. They do not care and listen. They are not motivated to work and she does not know how to

motivate them.

Supervising others is never easy. Many seasoned supervisors felt overwhelmed, overstressed, and

frustrated by the extraordinary responsibilities that go hand in hand with being an effective

supervisor.

In many organizations, supervisors are fighting for survival. They cannot deliver 100 percent the

expectations of their managers. They cannot help improve the performance of their people. Ineffective

and inefficient supervisors are the norm of the day.

Why the problems of ineffective and inefficient supervisors persist?

The key problem is the lack of supervisor training. Many supervisors are promoted to new positions

that involve new sets of competencies. In short, they are promoted to their level of incompetence.

Companies aspiring to be successful in the future prepare their high potential employees to become

future supervisors and managers. Supervisors need training in specific set of skills before you promote

them. Untrained supervisors typically demonstrate the following:

1. Failure to set goals and expectations.

2. Inability to delegate.

3. Poor communication and rapport building.

4. Inability to manage multiple priorities.

5. Inability to handle change and help employees manage change.

6. Poor leadership skills.

7. Poor problem-solving and decision-making skills.

8. Failure to understand and prevent sexual and other form of harassment.

9. Failure to create positive attitude and a motivational environment.



10. Poor coaching skills.

The persistence of these problems slows down the growth of organizations, frustrates people, and

drives customers away.

Obviously, many companies do not know that investment in supervisor training is peanuts when

compared to the benefits organizations enjoy when they transform supervisors to effective everydayleaders.

Is there a solution?

The best solution is for companies to implement leadership development programs to prepare high

potential leaders to their future leadership roles. You can make them competent before you promote

employees to a new job.

Those who are already in supervisory positions who have not undergone training must be saved from

further frustrations. You must train them too.

Everyday Leadership for Supervisors is a two-day intensive program that transforms supervisors – new

and experienced – into effective everyday leaders and equips them to deliver desired results. The

program is very engaging, interactive, and output-driven. It can be customized to target specific job

challenges.

Because the needs of organizations vary, the content of the program can be redesigned to fit specific

needs. Your organization can request for a half-day, one-day, two-day, three-day, four-day, and five-day

programs. Your business needs will dictate the content, duration, and methodology we will use.

Some organizations like to get all the content in a few hours. As much as we value the request of our

clients, we also ensure that they get the best possible result. We will not allow your supervisors to drink

from a firehose. That will waste both our time, money, and effort. You will find below the partial

substance of the Everyday Leadership for Supervisors training program.
