New to supervision or just need a tune-up for your leadership? This series (or an individual session) is for you!

Gallup Organization research indicates that an employee joins an organization, but leaves a supervisor. When an individual contributor is promoted to supervisor, the transition can be a difficult one. This certificate will provide the new supervisor with the foundational skills needed for the job.

An effective supervisor learns how to complement that competence with the ability to lead and motivate a variety of people in a variety of situations. This course helps new supervisors understand how to effectively make that transition and begin the road to effective leadership.
