Matching Supervisory Styles to Employee Needs
Session Format:
4-6 Hours Total
Introduction
Employees often differ with respect to their supervisory needs. Some employees have the ability to work without a great deal of attention; others require almost constant supervision in order to perform at an acceptable level. Most employees, however, fall somewhere in the middle. This session is designed to show managers and supervisory personnel how to recognize these differences and respond appropriately.
Objectives
The participant will learn: (1) three different supervisory styles typically used to motivate employees, (2) the type of employee each of the styles works best with, and (3) how the different styles can be integrated to achieve greater quality, productivity, morale, and overall efficiency.
