Designed to help participants make a successful transition from "coworker" to "supervisor," this seminar will help leaders discover how close they should be getting with their direct reports “on” and “off” the job. You may worry about the way others will react to your new supervisor status. You will find out how to deal with frustrated employees who wanted your job.
