Topic: Teaching Effective Supervisor Skills 

Instructions: This  project requires you to develop a PowerPoint slide presentation for use  as a training tool with brand new supervisors! You are in charge of  presenting them with information on how to transition from a worker to a  supervisor. There is great satisfaction in taking a brand new employee,  helping them to develop their Management, Coaching, and Leadership  skills, and then watching them excel! With this in mind, your  presentation should have a title slide, an overview, and a body of  slides for the audience. You should focus the majority of your  presentation (i.e., 8-10 slides) on what challenges a new supervisor may  face, what makes a good supervisor (or bad one), and how to transition  to becoming a supervisor. Factors to consider in all forms of  communication–Who is your audience? What is your message? Are you  trying to persuade? Inform? 

Here are some guidelines to get you started: You are the Day Shift Supervisor  and are going to brief a small group of newly-promoted team leads with  little or no past leadership experience. They have all worked up through  the ranks at the Always Smiling Toothbrush manufacturing facility. Your  audience ages are anywhere from 25-55 years of age, with various  business backgrounds, some with military experience, and some that have  been in a little trouble before but now want to move up in the company.  Many of them have good friends still in lower positions and will have a  struggle adjusting. Have fun with some of the topics and graphics of  course!
