Description
Traditional styles of management are dead and dying. The old command-and-control approach, where a supervisor issues orders, clearly is on the trash heap. Recruitment of new staff is difficult at best and turnover rates can exceed 45% at some child and family serving agencies. What new supervisory approaches are working? What can you do with staff to help motivate them, retain them, and insure their maximum performance as child welfare and family agency workers? Come learn about the 12 questions the positive answers to which the Gallup Organization says are essential to positive employee performance. Also, you will learn about coaching strategies that will help you manage, motivate, and retain people in a very difficult child welfare environment. Coaching has caught both the for-profit and nonprofit worlds by storm. It is a simple set of strategies that can skyrocket your effectiveness as a supervisor or manager.
