Excellence in technical or financial skills does not automatically
translate to excellence in supervising others. First-time supervisors
face unique challenges as they transition to management: supervising
work with which they may be unfamiliar, supervising employees with whom
they had previously been co-workers or employees with greater seniority,
understanding the extent of responsibility and decision making authority
they have, wanting to be liked, finding ways to communicate expectations
to their employees and making unpopular decisions. This workshop will
help new supervisors to successfully navigate the transition.
