FHSU University Relations and Marketing

Fourth in the summer workshop series offered by the Management Development Center at Fort Hays State University is “Supervisor Bootcamp 2.0,” from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 2, in the FHSU Memorial Union, Stouffer Lounge.

Participants will gain insight into the five fundamental supervisory skills: guiding the work, organizing the work, developing the staff, managing performance and managing relations. Practical tools will be introduced and discussed to equip supervisors to lead, manage and develop their employees.

Gina Riedel, partner for Bandura+, and Sabrina William, director of the MDC, will facilitate.

“Supervisor Bootcamp 2.0 is a great opportunity for supervisors with some experience under their belts to become even stronger leaders,” said William. “This workshop will prepare participants to lead rather than merely managing their teams by giving them insights on employee development and employee relationships while adding expertise to their supervisory skill set.”

Successful completion of this course will increase participants’ abilities to prepare goals from strategic planning process and personal analysis; outline daily work priorities through effective use of time management skills; compare and contrast the five conflict-management styles and explain their differences; differentiate informal and formal performance appraisals and use them accordingly; summarize the six-step model for difficult conversations and give examples of each step; and identify differences between a leader and manager and how they are complementary.

Each participant who completes the workshop will receive a completion certificate.

The cost is $219. Registrations received prior to July 29 are appreciated. Hays Area Chamber of Commerce members are eligible for a 15-percent discount.
