Program Components
When we rolled this workshop out to our managers, several of the first executives who participated recognized that it had the potential for helping us generate strategic results such as improved customer retention, increased profitability, and reduced turnover of key employees. Based on that observation, we now refer to the workshop internally as Managing People for Results.

There are 12 separate training courses in the Supervision Series - Leadership Essentials. Each may be taken independently of the others, however it is highly recommended that Essential Skills of Leadership and Essential Skills of Communicating be taken first because they are the foundation of the other programs that address interpersonal skills and functional skills. Leadership Plus modules build on these essentials and target advanced skills.
The classroom version of each course is designed to be completed in one-half day. The Online versions normally take 1 1/2 to 2 hours to complete. The Supervision Series Online version can be accessed through our online campus. Both classroom and online versions of the courses cover the same skill points and each version uses the same participant workbook. The administrator materials for the classroom version include:
an instructor guide
video demonstrating negative and positive team-member/team-leader interaction for role modeling and
PowerPoint files
For each course, the instructor chooses whether to use the scenarios in office settings or industrial settings. Experienced trainers will have no difficulty using the well-designed instructor guide to deliver the programs flawlessly.
Whether you need a simple classroom skill-builder for a few employees, or an internet-based training solution that reaches thousands of people in a global organization, you'll find it here. Vital Learning offers you unparalleled flexibility in how, when, and where you implement training. Choose from the classroom and computer-based formats you need to make powerful and measurable improvements in the supervisory functions of your company.
