Matching Supervisory Styles to Employee Needs

Introduction

Employees often differ with respect to their supervisory needs. Some employees have the ability to work without a great deal of attention; others require almost constant supervision in order to perform at an acceptable level. Most employees, however, fall somewhere in the middle. This session is designed to show managers and supervisory personnel how to recognize these differences and respond appropriately.
