This session is designed for nonprofit leaders that have a supervisory role. Often times, supervisors do not receive formalized performance management training. However, they are expected to be able to build trust, know their roles, responsibilities, and necessary skill sets for them, their supervisees, and the organization to be effective. This session will focus on supervision as a coaching model

  • Understand the roles and responsibilities of a supervisor in fostering excellent performance that supports individual and organizational needs.
  • Have learned how to establish a mutually supportive and rewarding partnership with their direct reports.
  • Have identified the qualities of a strong supervision relationship.

  • Know how to create a structure and approach for regular communications.
  • Have learned how to set professional development goals and plans for staff growth and learning.
