Advanced Team Management and Supervising

A five-day programme that combines team management and supervision — work planning and delegation, performance and quality monitoring, coaching and feedback, fair handling of conduct and effective briefings and handovers.

Introduction

Managing and supervising a team requires two capabilities at once: organising the work and leading the people who perform it. The Advanced Team Management and Supervising Training Course develops both together rather than treating them as separate disciplines. Participants learn to plan and allocate work, set standards, monitor output and quality, and supervise performance fairly. Furthermore, the course covers delegation, coaching, feedback, and handling conduct issues early. In addition, it addresses motivation, conflict resolution, and safety responsibility. As a result, participants return able to run a section with clear standards, consistent supervision, and measurable results.
