HLC Manager/Supervisor Series

The MSS program focuses on increasing your leadership effectiveness by analyzing your personal leadership style and personal communication preferences. After a personal analysis the program will examine communication strategies to assist leaders in the day-to-day situations encountered when leading a team. It consists of six 2-hour segments, and a goal of the program is to be interactive allowing participants to share their personal leadership experiences as a means of learning best practices from one another.

The program objectives are:

• To introduce a foundation in the leadership discipline and raise awareness of personal leadership style and identify areas of strength and development to increase a leader’s effectiveness.
• Examine what makes crucial conversations so difficult and provide tools to manage these crucial conversations with more ease and confidence.
• Analyze strategies for resolving conflict in the team environment to maintain morale and achieve team objectives.
