Developing Professional Development Plans and Programs for Managers and Supervisors

Professional development and training are critical to the success of managers and supervisors, but often they are the last group to design and develop a true professional development plan that emphasizes and encourages development for the next level of leadership.  This workshop will review the importance of training (to perform your current position well) and professional development (to grown and continue to increase professionalism and the administrative mindset necessary to supervise and lead).  Participants will set the foundation for their plans and acquire resources to complete them.
