Changing customer expectations, changing markets, new technologies, new competitors. Thriving in today's ever-changing marketplace requires making the most of today's conditions while preparing for tomorrow's opportunities. The power for this type of performance comes from employees who can translate broad business objectives into targeted action.
Today more than ever, supervisors need to align the power of people and knowledge with their organization's strategic goals. In order to do this, supervisors need personal leadership skills to keep employees on track and moving in the right direction; coaching skills to help individuals and teams progress more quickly toward goals; and communication skills to make the case for change in a way that builds excitement and inspires commitment.
Daytona State College's Supervisory Skills Workshop provides these important skills. Workshops are offered several times a year and can be customized for delivery on-site.
This course has been offered to almost 700 employees from over 98 local service, government and manufacturing companies.
