8:30 – noon The Roles and Responsibilities of a Supervisor

• Examine the supervisors role within an organization,
• Compare and contrast the supervisors’ role as a leader and role as manager,
• Learn the key activities of effective supervision,
• Build a foundation for developing credibility as a supervisor, building a culture of accountability and assessing and addressing performance problems.

• The qualities that followers look for and admire in leaders,
• The foundation of leadership and of all working relationships,
• The principles and disciples that strengthen leadership credibility,

8:30 – noon Building a Culture of Accountability

Unfortunately, most people view accountability as something that belittles them or happens when performance wanes, problems develop or results fail to materialize. Leaders who effectively develop a culture of accountability develop an approach to accountability that paves the road to success rather than one that provides an excuse for failure. During this workshop, participants will:
• Examine the definitions of accountability
• Learn the two measures required for a task to be successfully completed
• Learn a three step Supervisory Accountability Process.
• Examine excuses to justify inaction
• Explore the meanings behind the four excuses to justify inaction
• Learn the steps to developing a culture of accountability
• Understand the positive results of accountability.

1:30 – 5 pm Assessing and Addressing Performance Problems

Solutions to problems are like keys in locks; they don’t work if they don’t fit. If the solutions to problems are not the rights ones, the problems do not get solved. Some performance problems can be solved, especially those caused by our own lack of skill at applying principles of human behavior. This workshop focuses on problems that arise because someone isn’t doing what someone else expects him/her to be doing. During this workshop participants will
• Examine the role of the supervisor in dealing with performance problems
• Learn a procedure for assessing performance problems to determine the reasons an employee is not performing as expected, and
• Develop a quick-reference checklist to help them determine what sort of solution is most likely to work.
• Learn an effective four step process to address performance issues with employees, and
• Use case studies provided by the instructor to practices assessing and address employee performance problems.
