Making the transition from co-worker to management

This comprehensive one-day workshop is designed specifically for First Nations staff new to the role of supervisor or manager.  

The management skill set required for working within a First Nations community organization or enterprise is as unique as the communities themselves.  Managing in a close-knit community environment poses many challenges for First Nations supervisors; not the least of which, is the issue of overseeing extended family and community members with whom they are familiar. 

Participants will learn to set boundaries, goals and objectives, manage expectations, manage performance, establish and motivate teams and address general supervision issues.

This workshop will be especially helpful for new or recently promoted supervisors and managers; staff who anticipate moving to a supervisory role in the future; or, current supervisors and managers looking to improve their skills. 

​

Program Objectives:

Workshop participants will be able to:

• understand the role of supervisor/manager;

Training Outcomes:
