Applied Leadership:
The Art of Supervision  I, II, III, IV                         
Contact Us @ CSI 208.732.6455

Supervisors today face a world of tremendous change and challenge. The increasing complexity of work, continually changing customer expectations, and the need for higher levels of productivity and employee commitment, all combine to require supervisors to perform in ways that are different than was true in the past. Designed to build practical basic skills, as well as confidence and understanding, each participant will develop an individual action plan and the appropriate skills needed most in leading employees to greater individual, team, and organizational performance. These four courses are offered through College of Southern Idaho in partnership with Boise State University Center for Professional Development.

Applied Leadership: The Art of Supervision Competency-Based Learning to Enhance Leadership Skills This series is designed to build the skills supervisors need most in leading employees to greater individual, team, and organizational performance. Applied Leadership: Lead from Within (Part I) will develop skills in better communication, identifying roles and responsibilities, interpersonal styles and self management. Applied Leadership: Lead Great People (Part II) will develop personal effectiveness skills in the areas of creating a motivating climate, leading for growth, and performance management. Applied Leadership: Lead with Purpose (Part III) will explore skills in customer service, vision setting, problem solving, and process improvement. Applied Leadership: Lead for Legacy (Part IV) looks at ethics, conflict resolutions, negotiation skills and change management.

Who Should Attend . . .
Although each of these four Applied Leadership modules are excellent preparation for people expecting to assume supervisory responsibilities in the near future, experienced supervisors, group leaders, and lead persons will find these courses helpful in updating leadership skills and practices appropriate to the demands of today’s work place. Each module is 'stand alone' and they can be taken in any order but the greatest benefit to the attendee will be derived from taking all four modules.

Program Formats . . .
Participants will engage in interactive, experiential workshop sessions that feature case studies, planning exercises, self-assessments, and role plays that will give individuals the opportunity to gain insight and develop strategies for improving supervision. Finally, each participant will develop an individual action plan to ensure that they are concentrating on the appropriate skills and increasing the transfer of training to their workplace.

Each person completing any Leadership module will develop an individual action plan, including suggestions for ongoing development and maintenance of skills and will receive a Certificate of Completion from CSI/BSU for 1.2 CEU's per level (12 Hours). Performance aids, including a variety of useful checklists and models, offer another way to ensure that skills are applied on-the-job.

Time, Place, and Fee . . .
The $390 fee for each module includes all instruction and program materials. Sign up for two modules and save 10% per program.  Two or more from the same company who sign up for at least one module also qualify for the discount fee of $351.00. Call the Center for State of Idaho employee rates.
