Workshop 1: Managing, Leading & Delegating
The Situational Leadership Model serves as a valuable frame of reference to ensure that supervisors are meeting their employees and teams 鈥渨here they are鈥. An important piece of the puzzle involves understanding your supervisory role in the context of change 鈥 sometimes integrating new employees, and at other times inviting seasoned employees to do new things. Providing the optimal amount of direction and relational involvement is both an art and a science. Building on the Situational Leadership model, we will engage you in exploring the likely leadership needs of those you supervise as they move towards increasing levels of autonomy (e.g. clarity around expectations, roles and responsibilities, timely information and recognition, knowledge documentation/transfer, delegation, feedback loops, etc.).听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听听

Workshop 4: Managing Conflict:听Toward a Healthy and Productive Workplace for All
Conflicts and differences in the workplace can be a great source of creative tension, learning and growth for individuals, teams and the institution at large. In these times of rapid change and uncertainty, we are called to tap into this wealth of potential 鈥 particularly if we are to attract, engage and retain healthy, diverse, and happy employees. This means creating a workplace culture that actively values differences and psychological safety for all. It also means understanding and skillfully managing conflicts when they emerge.
Stress, withdrawal, and conflict are commonplace in our post-pandemic reality. Fatigue has sometimes overshadowed empathy and mutual respect. Most common types of conflicts are based on tasks, relationships, and differences in values, all of which have been impacted by the Pandemic and this new and still unknown hybrid work world. Whatever their source, unattended conflicts tend to escalate, creating a divisive and toxic work environment. Research shows that such escalations can negatively impact productivity, engagement and overall wellness of individuals and teams.
It takes courage to move into healthy conflict and to strive to transform conflict into greater mutual understanding and growth. In this interactive workshop, supervisors will explore their own relationship with conflict (assumptions, needs, styles, hot buttons). Through various interactive exercises, participants will build the skills needed to effectively manage various types of conflicts with sensitivity to diversity, mental health, and organizational context. They鈥檒l learn how to engage in difficult conversations with awareness and confidence, and gain insight into the resources available at 缅北强奸 to help them deal with difficult situations.
Workshop 5: Planning Strategies and Actions - Measuring Success
An important aspect of a supervisor鈥檚 role is to prioritize work according to objectives, to organize and distribute tasks effectively, and to ensure tasks are completed within a defined timeframe and according to certain standards. Structure and follow-up, when properly adapted to the needs at hand, are critical components of employee engagement and effectiveness. This workshop will introduce you to simple and effective management tools that you can implement in your operations to maintain and increase overall team performance.听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听
The Learning Circles
To fully harness the power of experiential learning we need to create opportunities for supervisors to make work a continuous learning experience. Between structured training sessions, groups will engage in Learning Circles to discuss and integrate their shared learning. Your facilitator will help guide the process, serve as a resource person, and connect the group to outside resources.听
