Supervision: Understanding Your Style and Increasing Your Communication Effectiveness

Description: This workshop is designed to help supervisors learn more about their management/leadership styles through the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and to enhance their communicative effectiveness in supervising. It combines the use of short lectures, participative exercises, and group discussion.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator training offers instruction in helping participants to understand their personal management style and the differences in others' management styles. Objectives for the training include:

• Participants gaining an understanding and greater acceptance of the natural differences between themselves and others and how those natural differences can affect communication, work execution, and team development.
  

• Establishing vital relationships--building team players, networking, mentoring, and dealing with difficult people
  

• Improving critical communication skills--the manager as conversationalist, giving feedback, developing strong verbal and nonverbal communication, and becoming a better listener
  

• Participants receiving an increased awareness of how their management styles impact those they supervise.
