Congratulations!  You are a supervisor / manager.  Now what? How will you interact and deal with your former peers?  Where should your focus be?  How can you continue your success? How do you use supervision supportively as a performance management tool?   Your co-workers, fellow team members, and in many cases, your friends were the people you joked with, took breaks with and looked out for. The co-workers who used to be your peers are now the employees who report to you and there are now deliverables attached to their performance that you must manage. Even if they were happy that you got promoted when you accepted the job, you’re no longer in the “us” crowd.  How do you manage the feelings related to that and your own motivation for the new work involved?   This course will assist newly hired supervisors/managers from within the organization to assume their new management role in a prepared and confident way.
