Intro to Supervision: Strategies & Tactics for New Supervisors
May 2, 2022 @ 8:30 am - May 4, 2022 @ 4:30 pm
Failure to train new supervisors to properly lead, manage, and run the day-to-day operations of the agency is one of the most common problems in public safety today. Leaders must be built within an organization and understanding the basics of leadership and management will be critical to help the new supervisor transition into their position. Developing good supervisors is one of the keys to developing a good agency. This course will provide newly promoted first line supervisors the knowledge and skills necessary to transition into their new position.
This 20-hour course will:
o Define the foundations of leadership and describe their departmental and personal vision.
o Understand the importance of developing and strong ethical foundation of all employees.
o Define fundamental leadership styles and understand their own personal style.
o Define the difference between performance issues, policy issues, and serious misconduct as well as the supervisor’s role in handling such incidents.
o List the day-to-day duties of a public safety-first line supervisor and how to prioritize issues.
This class is recommended for supervisors, newly promoted supervisors, or employees preparing for a future role as a supervisor.
