Effective Supervision: The Essentials
Effective Supervision is the fifth and newest track of NIB’s Business Leaders Program. This new learning opportunity is designed to develop participants’ abilities to perform supervisory jobs with greater productivity and effectiveness and to prepare for ever-increasing levels of responsibility.
