This course will provide the student with an understanding of the role that a supervisor plays in the workforce today and what it takes to be an effective supervisor. It will provide an overview and skills-building in many supervisory areas: leadership, ensuring quality and productivity, ethics, diversity, organizational structures, delegating, problem-solving, effective communication, motivational methods, time and stress management, conflict and change management, selecting and training new employees, and evaluating worker performance. In covering these topics, this course covers the responsibilities and challenges a supervisor faces in day-to-day operations on the job. The ultimate goal is to provide a foundation for students to become effective supervisors and/or to improve their current supervisory skills.
