Survive the 10 Toughest Conversations Every Supervisor Dreads

In today's workplace, many employees seem to be guided only by their own personal standards. With the variety of personalities and philosophies that are brought together in any organization, supervisors and managers have a tough job on their hands. It can be very challenging — even uncomfortable — to confront employees about certain issues.

You've probably witnessed it yourself. Perhaps one of your colleagues was dressed inappropriately for work and you wondered why your manager didn't directly address the situation immediately. At the time, you thought, "It can't be that difficult".

Now you are the manager and you're the one responsible for addressing these kinds of issues. In your supervisory duties, you realize how uncomfortable and difficult some conversations can be. If you find yourself dreading these conversations or putting them off, you are not alone.

Avoiding a crucial dialogue can cost you and your organization time, energy and money. For every day that you allow to go by without confronting an issue, you risk declining productivity, decreased morale within your team and customer dissatisfaction. You also risk financial and legal trouble for your organization. If that isn't enough, the stress you feel each day you let the situation continue is excruciating.

Learn not only how to address these critical situations and endure the toughest conversations, but also how to end each encounter on a positive note. This one-hour webinar will equip you with the communication strategies and confrontation management skills you need to survive and thrive as a successful manager.
