Join Dr. Bob Ireland on February 11th for a full day workshop on How to Supervise Staff in the Residential Program. Focused on the essentials of outstanding supervision for those who manage direct service positions, this one-day event is great for managers of all experience levels.

Some of the takeaways for this one-day workshop include:

-Stop the six most common games people play in supervision
-Reduce staff turnover
-Get your staff to live up to your expectations
-Deal effectively with difficult staff and strategies for handling conflict
-Stop meetings from becoming “gripe sessions”
-Get more out of your time and how to delegate
