Why should you Attend: Have you just stepped into a new supervisor role? Are you now supervising co-workers who you used to work alongside? How you transition into your new role can make or break your ability to gain the respect, productivity, and collaboration you need from your new team. The simple fact of having people that work under you does not ensure you are good at leading them and keeping them engaged and on the right path.
