Supervising Print Production – Friday & Saturday, February 27 & 28, 2009
(Early Bird - $395 on or before 1/31/09 or Late Advance - $495 after 1/31/09)
Supervision is a tough job. Traditionally our industry has taken the best craftspeople and promoted them into supervision. But the skills to supervise are very different than the skills needed to operate production equipment.

New and even experienced supervisors can acquire communication and interpersonal skills that will help them to be better equipped to properly manage people. This seminar will explore how supervisors can support higher levels of employee performance by improving their communication skills and strategies. It will give you the personal, interpersonal and group skills to be influential in one-on-one situations, facilitate group performance and become an overall effective leader.

The Supervising Print Production workshop can help you eliminate costly transitional problems, and even enhance a new or current supervisor’s skills. Attendees will learn how important it is for supervisors to know what their job duties and responsibilities are to their customers, company, and fellow employees.
