Supervising staff is a critical role in organizations – the health of our teams can depend on the skills of those charged with managing other employees. But many of us are promoted into supervisory roles without receiving formal guidance on how to manage and grow our direct reports. This workshop will provide tools and guidance on the softer skills needed to manage employees or contract staff. Participants will learn how to:
• Choose between and use a coaching style and a more traditional supervising style
• Provide effective feedback to employees
• Utilize a 4-step tool for managing up as well as down
• Develop a performance improvement plan
This workshop is ideal for nonprofit and grantmaking professionals who manage staff.
