Promoting a high-performing employee into a supervisory role is one of the most common — and costly — decisions organizations make. Too often, individuals are promoted based on technical skill rather than leadership readiness, resulting in disengaged teams, poor performance, and increased turnover.

In this practical session, Jim Schiffler draws on his experience as President and CEO of St. Cloud Industrial Products, Inc., along with insights from his Amazon Best Seller, “Stepping Up: From Valued Employee to Supervisor,” to help individuals figure out weather or not they are ready to apply for a supervisory or leadership role.  Jim will share insights applicants must know about themselves, supervisory roles and the necessary skills required to succeed on the job.  

Attendees will leave having an understanding of:

1. motivation necessary
2. Mindsets and skill needed
3. Personal & professional lifestyle changes required
4. What a day in the life of a supervisor looks like.  

Valuable information of this nature are seldom shared with individuals appling for leadership roles.
