Why Supervision Skills Matter

Supervising others is one of the most influential roles in higher education. From hiring and onboarding to coaching employees and addressing challenges, supervisors shape both individual success and the culture of their departments.

Yet many supervisors receive little formal training for these responsibilities.

SuperSTAR Supervision provides practical tools supervisors can apply immediately to strengthen communication, accountability, and employee development.

What You’ll Learn

Participants will explore a practical framework focused on four core supervisory practices.

Start: Hiring thoughtfully, onboarding effectively, and establishing clear expectations.
Time: Making supervision intentional through meaningful one-on-one conversations.
Alignment: Creating clarity and accountability through shared expectations.
Resources: Identifying the tools and support employees need to succeed.

Key Outcomes

After this session you will be able to:

Establish clearer expectations with employees
Address challenging conversations with confidence
Create stronger alignment between supervisors and staff
Support employee growth and development
Apply practical supervisory tools immediately

Who Should Attend

Both new supervisors and experienced leaders will benefit from the session.
