In order to survive, companies need the best and the brightest leaders whose competence and abilities will stimulate a high level of performance throughout the corporation. The greatest challenge for most companies is ensuring effective supervision. Supervisors do not inherit skills; they develop them.

To meet this challenge ELM Associates proposes training supervisors using a variety of approaches. The program will include classroom seminars, experiential activities and practice sessions. Supervisors will receive certification upon completion of the program.

Below is an overview of each component of the proposed training. The components address the general learning objectives for a basic supervision workshop. They may be modified to reflect employee and management concerns.

Learning Objectives:
	Understand leadership techniques
	Develop problem solving skills
	Understand how to lead meetings
	Identify techniques for giving and receiving feedback
	Update communication skills
	Manage conflict with subordinates constructively
	Develop interviewing techniques
