Fundamental Supervisory Practices

Fundamental Supervisory Practices

Being a supervisor in local government today is more challenging than ever. Fundamental Supervisory Practices provides newly promoted or first-time supervisors with the critical knowledge and skills needed to be effective supervisors. This highly interactive program includes the True TILT Personality Profile to help participants understand their character strengths and opportunities for development. It uses a “learning partner” model and daily development plan to enable greater integration of the program experience.

At the conclusion of the course, participants will know:

  • More about themselves, their management style, and how that impacts their effectiveness.
  • The role, duties, and skills needed to be an effective supervisor in the public sector.
  • The critical employment laws that impact the workplace and how to create a safe, professional, and harassment-free workplace.
  • How to work effectively in a diverse, multi-generational workforce and create an inclusive environment where all can prosper.
  • Techniques and strategies to improve communication, deliver difficult performance feedback, and engage in productive coaching conversations with direct reports.

 

This training is provided by The UNC School of Government’s Center for Public Leadership and Governance.
