Earn a certificate while learning how effectively setting goals can help leaders AND employees improve outcomes.

A New Year typically rings in with new personal resolutions and professional goals. In 2023, Rhode Island manufacturing managers and supervisors can improve their outcomes by learning how to track and evaluate with SMART goals.

This course will show the positive effect of shifting the traditional role of planner and evaluator from the leader, to a shared responsibility between leader and employee. This shift builds employee ownership, and allows the leader to focus on coaching and developing throughout the performance cycle. Leaders will experience how to use effective SMART goals to help them and their employees track progress and fairly evaluate outcomes. A well-written performance plan is also a powerful tool for leaders to use when determining where to focus their development and coaching discussions with their employees.

Enroll leaders in this positive workshop to develop management skills that align performance for success.
