• Daily Supervising and Giving Positive and Negative Feedback -- for new supervisors and for supervisors who could use some polishing and a refresher

  This module demonstrates specific communications tools to build skills to bring the best job out of subordinates on a routine basis. We'll list the ten determinants employees need to do their best jobs at work. Plus we'll talk about ways to deliver these items on a shoestring budget.

  We'll also cover the nuts and bolts of daily supervising tasks: how to be most effective at delegating tasks to your direct reports, handling technical questions, and daily communications will be covered. We'll explain the Losada Line. We'll present an easy-to-follow formula for giving constructive feedback to subordinates in a way that minimizes defensive behavior and encourages personal growth.
