Leader Behaviors
This course strengthens your skills in the following leader behaviors:
The reality of today’s workplace is that individual success depends not only on how well you do your job, but how well your supervisor does their job. A supervisor’s role should not come from a command and control mindset, but rather a mindset of collaboration. When our supervisors are unable to meet deadlines, accomplish goals, and fulfill expectations, those unmet obligations inevitably become yours, and your relationship can suffer greatly.
This course presents the principles of managing up that help you to be more in tune with your supervisor’s needs and help you to support their daily obligations, which in turn will benefit you. Your work life will run more smoothly, you will encounter less conflict, and you will make a positive impression on your supervisor.
This course is designed for any business professional who wants to receive merit and recognition from their supervisor for their hard work and ideas. Those who seek a better relationship with their supervisor will also benefit from taking this course.
