Essential Management Skills

Program Overview

As the pivotal connection between organizational leaders and the workforce, supervisory managers are uniquely positioned to influence and impact performance provided they have the right skills and knowledge. The Rutgers Essential Management Skills program provides new supervisors—and those looking to assume supervisory responsibilities—with the fundamental knowledge, skills, and confidence to deliver results. Each session assists with making the realignment in mindset and behavior required to become effective supervisors. In each training session, participants also are asked to develop an action plan for implementation back on the job, as specific concerns and challenges are similarly addressed to ensure success in this initial leadership role.

#1 - Supervisory Roles and Responsibilities

#2 - Managing Employee Performance

#3 - Developing Individuals and Teams

#4 - Managing Priorities, Solving Problems and Legalities
