A popular training activity that explores
                     the role and skills of a supervisor.
          Are they people or task orientated managers?

Exploring the Supervisor's
Role and Skills
This activity focuses on the four integral areas an effective supervisor is skilled in.
It also identifies areas that supervisors
should NOT practice.

Ideal for recently appointed or longer term supervisors
to discuss their role and identify the skills
they need to perform it.

This stimulating training activity allows participants to:

How it works - Part 1

The game consists of 67 cards with a statement that might apply to the role and skills of a supervisor (see some examples to the right). Each team studies the cards and reaches a consensus as to which of the following five headings the card comes under:

Group A - Managing Activities
Group B - Managing Resources
Group C - Managing People
Group D - Managing Communication
Group E - Inappropriate or Little use

This part of the activity provokes a useful discussion on the role and skills of a supervisor. It enables the trainer to observe supervisors in action and identify areas for development.

Part 2

Teams then prioritise the cards for groups A to D by choosing the 10 most important cards for each group. Each team's choice can be compared with the other teams to discover which statements are considered to be the most relevant in their role as a supervisor.

Part 3

The trainer issues participants with a questionnaire based on the cards. This enables participants to see their level of people and task orientation.

This part helps participants to understand how they should apply their skills according to the situation. It also helps them to focus on their development needs and formulate an action plan.

Duration:     1 to 2 hours + Debrief (Depending on how many parts are used).

Numbers:     Up to 4 teams with 2 to 6 delegates in a team (24 delegates in total for each business game).

Cost to buy (including a trainer's manual) to facilitate it yourself: £250 + delivery and VAT (UK Only).
