Supervision for Success: A Self-Study Guide

For more than two decades, Jeff Bormaster has taught his three-day Supervision for Success® course to thousands of supervisors in hundreds of organizations nonprofit and for-profit, government and private sector using a research-based approach to supervising staff. The course of study has resulted in increased staff retention, higher productivity, improved morale, and improved client outcomes.

While thousands have completed the three-day course, there has been no standalone learning tool enabling supervisors to learn about supervision for success and the approaches it uses. Until now. Using Supervision for Success®: A Self-Study Guide, supervisors can acquire the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to become effective success-focused supervisors.

While not a replacement for the three-day supervised skills-training course, the self-study guide is a great complement and introduction to the classroom course and provides immediate and numerous insights and tools that can benefit supervisors at any level in an organization.

The self-study guide includes: a review of current research and workforce study findings by experts in the field and the basic principles of industrial psychology that form the foundation upon which Supervision for Success® has been built; a document toolkit that can be used in implementing Supervision for Success®; comprehensive readings and follow-up questions with answer keys; real-world explanations, examples, and applications; and recommendations for further study.

The study guide helps supervisors achieve a success-based focus that allows them to maximize their ability to be effective.
