The best supervisors and managers are clear-minded, performance-driven and people-oriented.

Today’s supervisors must be able to effectively assess their work situations, understand and communicate with all employees, and determine the most appropriate responses to get the job done on time, within budget and up to standard.

On January 30, join Bonnie Cain-Wood, Communication Services Manager for OSU Libraries, as she facilitates the Supervisory Academy and networking on the nine sessions to becoming a better manager.

“This series is great for supervisors seeking strategies to handle tough situations, increase communication and strengthen their management skills,” said Marcy Luter, Staff and Management Development Training Coordinator at Meridian. “Participants will have the opportunity to network with others in similar positions and share best practices.”

Beginning January 30, the 9-session training is held every Monday through April 10, excluding holidays. During these sessions, managers and supervisors will be given a number of tools so they can more effectively think on their feet as they work with people to create value.
