COURSE DESCRIPTION
Supervisors are required to motivate, protect, mentor, and lead their team using a broad approach to systems management and staff leadership.

Attendees will leave with new ideas, immediately useful tools, and a better understanding of themselves, their peers, and those they supervise.
