Why You Should Attend:
Leads are on the front lines of what really happens in today’s organizations. More than ever companies rely on the group leader to help them accomplish goals in production, service, and quality. However, many group leaders have not received significant training in leading others, and face the formidable obstacle of resistance encountered from peers and supervisors who “put them to the test.”
Group leaders are expected to guide the activities of individuals in their work group to achieve expected results. In doing this, group leaders must demonstrate a variety of skills to motivate employees while sometimes having limited formal authority over the employees. Being able to influence others, achieve employee commitment to work effectively, and handle performance issues are important skills group leaders need to possess.
