From Buddy to Boss

This course is designed for new and emerging supervisors. 

The transition from employee to supervisor is a delicate and complex one. You’ve worked together on projects, and maybe even became friends away from the job. Now you’re leading your peers and administering the projects, and the relationships between you and your peers change.  

As a new supervisor, you’ll work with your staff to build rapport, create clear direction, build effective teams, focus on customer needs and practice sound business management. 

Learning Objectives

  • Identify the changes necessary to make the transition from individual contributor and trustworthy teammate to supervisor
  • Describe the roles and responsibilities of a supervisor
  • Identify strategies to develop good relationships with your employees, peers and manager
  • Determine the critical priorities for yourself and your team

Fees

  • GTI members: $120
  • Non-members: $138
