Building Core Supervisory & Team Competencies
A five-day programme that develops supervisors and their teams together — work planning and standards, team diagnostics and role clarity, coaching and feedback, conflict resolution and capability measurement.
Introduction
Supervisors succeed when their own competencies and their team's capabilities develop together, and most programs address only one of the two.

Participants learn to plan and allocate work, set standards, supervise performance, and coach their team to higher capability. Furthermore, the course covers team diagnostics, trust, role clarity, and motivation. In addition, it addresses conflict resolution, safety responsibility, and performance measurement. As a result, participants return able to strengthen their own supervisory practice while raising the competence of the whole team.
