Leadership Skills For Trainee Supervisors

Course Summary

Any business should be committed to training and improving the skills of its employees, at whatever level, to be successful and adaptive in the ever-changing world of commerce. Every manager and team leader needs to follow a programme of continuous development to learn new skills and maintain their effectiveness in managing their teams. A course in management and leadership will benefit the individual, advance their careers, and aid the growth of the business. 

Many businesses don’t realise the difference between management and leadership and that both roles can work together to create a well-functioning and successful department with employees motivated to reach a collective end goal. 

Managers and leaders require a strong and strategic development plan to ensure they meet department goals and achieve group performance. They also need to implement accurate and informative reporting models to highlight any areas causing concern and develop effective communication methods to reiterate the importance of company values and goals and manage underperformance.  


Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: 

  • Develop effective communication skills to motivate a team.  
  • Understand how to monitor underperformance and manage it accurately.  
  • Create collective company goals and values.  
  • Understand how to increase productivity and quality within teams.  
  • Handle disputes and disruptions professionally.  
  • Create a strategic business plan to aim for continuous improvement. 
  • Highlight risk areas and create contingency plans to avoid and recover from risks.  

This course is designed for anyone developing into a management or leadership role or interested in learning more about management and leadership and what these roles mean for a successful business. It would be most beneficial for: 

  • New Team Leaders 
  • Experienced Team Leaders and Managers 
  • Supervisors 
  • Managers progressing to new roles.  
  • Employees moving into managing roles 
  • Managers and Team Leaders developing new skills 
  • Professionals evaluating and improving their personal performance 
  • Operations Managers 
  • General Managers 
  • Business Owners 

This course uses a variety of learning methods to aid understanding. Through interactive seminars and knowledge-based questionnaires, participants will learn to understand leadership concepts and management skills. Group activities will also be conducted to map out strategic goals and monitoring systems to highlight effectiveness.  

Each participant will participate in role-playing activities to strengthen their communication skills when dealing with direct reports and senior management. They will be presented with real-world case studies of organisations with model leadership programmes.
