New Supervisor Learning Group Overview
It is often said that stepping into a supervisory role for the first time is one of the most difficult transitions a leader will make throughout their entire career. Ironically, these transitions often occur with little or no development support.
This development opportunity -- New Supervisor Learning Group -- is designed to be "low investment/high impact" and will include a short <15 minute read or watch each month followed by a 1-hour meeting to discuss. The design of this offering will also focus on building and strengthening a network among participants.
Target Audience
This program is specifically designed for those who moved into a first-time supervisory role within the past two years -- whether recruited externally or promoted from within. (Note of clarification: This is not a program for experienced supervisors who are new to the College.)
