Leading and managing a community and staff can be an all-consuming challenge that leaves little time for local government supervisors to focus on their personal growth. Now, in a state-of-the-art online classroom, the Effective Supervisory Practices Webinar Series makes it easy to bring practical supervisory training to your jurisdiction without the high costs of hiring consultants.

Through six live and on demand webinars, this series enables attendees to learn:

• The difference between leading and managing
• The tools to assist with establishing priorities and focusing work
• How to hire the right people for your organization
• The role in fostering a safe, harassment-free work environment
• How good supervisors can motivate employees to become productive and fulfilled
• How to turn a group of employees into a highly functioning team

What is the Effective Supervisory Practices Webinar Series?

This interactive webinar series will demonstrate principles covered in Effective Supervisory Practices (5th Edition). Hosted by experienced managers and local government experts, this program is designed to impart real-life experience, best practices, and sound advice in the areas most important to a manager’s day-to-day role.

Who is Right for the Program?

The Effective Supervisory Practices Webinar Series is designed as a primer for new supervisors. It not only offers pragmatic recommendations about the day-to-day duties of a supervisor, but also offers guidance for addressing the more complex challenges all managers confront as they seek to effectively communicate, motivate, and model ethical decisions to lead a team.
