Developing Your Team

Your teams' success equates to yours. Your ability to inspire and develop people is critical to your own future. The higher you climb up the leadership ladder, the more you depend on others' success and strengths to achieve key objectives and goals. Whether you are on-boarding entry-level hires or working with a long-standing team, there are essential measures that supervisors of all experience levels can use to develop a strong, cohesive team.

This module examines several ways that supervisors develop their teams, including teaching/training, coaching/mentoring, motivating/inspiring, and valuing the generational diversity that exists within most teams.
