Team Lead Essentials (TLE)

The Team Lead Essentials (TLE) program is a 12-hour program designed for individuals within a logistics organization that currently have an entry-level leadership role, or have been identified for a such role. The TLE program focuses on developing individuals that hold a "Team Lead" role within a logistics company and on equipping Team Leads with the skills necessary to manage and lead high-performing teams. The instructional content for this program focuses on concepts such as: the role of a leader, soft skills, leadership styles, effective communication, on-the-job training, leadership vs. management, team work, conflict resolution, motivating employees and performance metrics. A pre and post assessment, self assessment, and session quizzes have also been provided. In partnership with the logistics employer(s) that the training is being provided at, it is recommended that the instructor should build in discussions and demonstrations that are based on the actual logistics company for which the students work at.

Quality Note:
The SME was selected based on their knowledge and experience teaching supply chain logistics courses. The SME selected was not involved in the development of any of the program materials reviewed to ensure a true third-party review. A standardized rubric was created for the review of program materials. The rubric encompassed four sections that the SME utilized as their guide to review content within a program. The SME was only required to complete the sections of the rubric for which they had materials to review (ex: if there were no "Learning Activities" to review, then they were not required to complete that respective section of the rubric). Final/Additional comments could be inserted at the end of the rubric. Sections of the rubric included: (1) Syllabus/Course Outline: Materials that are given and/or displayed to the student at the beginning of class that provide an overview of the course; (2) Instructional Materials/Design: Materials the instructor uses to teach the course (ex: PowerPoint, informational handouts, videos, etc.); (3) Learning Activities: Activities utilized to engage students to learn a specific concept(s); (4) Assessments/Evaluation: Assessments or evaluation methods utilized to gauge student understanding- can be formal or informal.
