You have been chosen to be a supervisor. As a supervisor you play several roles: leader, motivator, and coach. Each of these will help you guide and direct others toward common goals. If you feel unsure about your responsibilities and how people will respond to you, you are not alone. In any organization, the management team maps the path to supervisor success. It is defined by a set of characteristics, skills, and experiences proven to lead to success in the organization. This course covers some basic skills that can help you be an effective supervisor—whether you are new to the role or have had some supervisory experience in the past.
