Beloit, WI – After ten sessions of intensive leadership training, the Spring 2009 Supervising for Performance Series is sending eight graduates back to area businesses to put their skills to work.

“This has been a great group of people who are, and will be, serving their companies well as self-aware and effective supervisors and managers.” enthused Dave Podeszwa, Series Facilitator.

The Supervising for Performance Series applies content, adult learning methods, and participant interaction specific to the key competencies of effective leadership including:

– Providing effective work direction to others

– Managing conflicts that arise in the workplace

– Fostering teamwork and problem solving

– Interviewing, selecting, and onboarding new employees

– Coaching employees to higher levels of performance and job satisfaction

Research shows that there is a direct link between employee engagement, customer satisfaction, and business performance. Supervisors and managers must have the skills to engage employees in order to achieve customer service and business performance results.
