Practical Leadership 1.0: Cultivating Thriving Supervisory Relations
Event Details
This event is offered in partnership with the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits (MCN).
Effectively carrying out a supervisor role is more “art” than science. Often, managers are left on their own to try and figure out how to implement their supervisor duties. Unskilled supervision can create organizational cultures that are ineffective at best, and “toxic” at worst. When supervisors understand the expectations of their role, they are able to supervise in a way that fosters healthy working relationships with each employee that reports to them. This, in turn, creates thriving, inclusive organizational cultures.
This highly interactive training provides participants with immediately implementable tools and strategies.
This workshop is one of MCN’s most popular trainings and consistently receives high evaluations. You will receive with tools and ideas that you can immediately implement.
This is a six-hour virtual training spread over three two-hour sessions, February 3, 4, and 5, from 11 AM - 1 PM (EST) each day.
