Vital Learning Supervisory Training

Leadership Essentials for Supervisors

10 quick facts!

Why leadership training?

Supervisors have the most contact with the largest part of your workforce. This means their leadership skills will significantly affect employee engagement and results. Supervisors are usually selected for their role because they are excellent individual contributors. However, even for standout employees, leadership skills are new skills to learn and require training and experience to master. Learning these skills can make the difference between average or exceptional leadership.

The training program

The Leadership Essentials Series can be facilitated by your in-house or external trainers.

The Leadership Essentials Series provides a framework for leaders to learn practical management skills.

This series contains 12 separate modules that cover the essential skills all supervisors should have.

Organizations can choose to have their leaders go through every module or pick and choose which modules are most needed for any given cohort of leaders.

After the course, each leader receives access to a free reinforcement tool. This tool includes a scoreboard to engage learners through the use of friendly competition.
