Supervisor’s Toolkit
‘If a man’s only tool is a hammer, he tends to treat everything as a nail’ Abraham Maslow
How to change from being one of the team to being the ‘boss’ can be a dilemma for newly appointed supervisors or managers. Often promoted because they are good at what they do, the new job can be difficult for them without adequate people management skills as well.
Having a full range of ‘tools’ to draw on allows you to adapt to the situation, handle a variety of people and gain the outcome you need. The aims of this series are to:
- provide solutions and practical approaches to everyday situations
- create an awareness of the basic people skills required
- encourage implementation of those skills to make the role easier.
Every encouragement is given to apply the learning back in the workplace. It involves participation, group and individual work, for a more effective and enjoyable learning experience. Small work based assignments between sessions aid the application of learning.
This is a ‘pick and mix’ approach to the modules for a 3, 6 or 9 day programme, as most appropriate to the business. The sessions can be run at a time to suit your workload. As these align with the Institute of Leadership & Management Award modules, there is the option to achieve this qualification.

“Ken and Rosie were very helpful, non prescriptive, and very inclusive of us in their design of the workshops. Even during delivery, they rolled with the punches and adapted to specific important issues that emerged. I cannot think of anything that they could improve.”Vickie Best, Operational Director, Dorset Cereals.
