Richard Bird, Learning Works
This workshop is for team leaders & supervisors
If you are a team leader or supervisor responsible for leading and managing a work team, or want to take on such a role, this workshop will benefit you!
Team leadership and supervisory management roles are vital in the modern workplace. People are often promoted to team leader or supervisory roles because they are good operators or have great technical expertise. But to be successful in their new role they also need a new set of management and leadership skills.
Learn how to bring out the best in the individuals and teams that you manage. Our next workshop is on Monday 5 March 2012, click here to learn more.
