Introduction
You have just been promoted to a manager or supervisor. Congratulation! Making the transition from staff member to supervisor or manager is a demanding task. It provides both opportunities and challenges. On a personal level, the emotional impact of these changes can be substantial. Employees are often promoted to supervision because of their strong technical expertise—expertise in building a product or providing a service. Suddenly, the new supervisor is now charged with a whole new range of responsibilities, many of which have little to do with technical expertise. This one-hour continuing education course for architects, engineers, landscape architects and interior designers will provide the student with valuable insights in successfully transitioning from a staff member into the role of a supervisor or manager.
