"No one ever taught me how to do this!" 

This seminar led by Susan Beaumont, Alban Senior Consultant, is  for the pastoral leader who is stepping up into a supervisory role for the first time, or for the long time supervisor who wants to revisit best practices.  

Supervising the work of others requires learning new skill sets.  No one is born knowing them, and yet supervisory skills are seldom learned during professional formation.

Participants in this seminar will learn the basics of managing and leading the work of other staff team members -- supervision as performance management.  

Topics to be covered include;

• The difference between covenantal and employment relationships
• Choosing the right staff team through behavioral based hiring
• Setting performance expectations and writing a job description
• Providing effective feedback and conducting performance appraisal
• Adopting a supervisory style
• Dealing with chronic under-performance
• Learning how to let employees go
• Building a performance management system that enhances the overall performance of the staff team

Each seminar participant will complete a DISC Profile -- a temperament style self assessment -- and will explore the ways in which temperament impacts the work of supervision.

All participants will also receive a copy of the book, When Moses Meets Aaron: Staffing and Supervision in the Large Congregation.
