Leadership and Supervision
A Leadership and Supervision training course designed to equip current and aspiring leaders
with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to guide teams effectively and achieve
operational goals. This course will explore the foundations of leadership—understanding
different leadership styles, identifying personal strengths, and recognizing how behaviour
influences workplace culture. Participants learn how to establish clear expectations,
communicate with clarity, and build trust within their teams.
A key focus of the course is effective supervision. Participants develop practical skills such as
task delegation, performance monitoring, conflict resolution, providing constructive feedback,
making decisions, motivating employees, and addressing challenges before they escalate.
The course also emphasizes emotional intelligence, helping leaders understand how to manage
their own reactions while supporting others. Topics such as coaching techniques, accountability
systems, and fostering a safe, inclusive work environment are explored in depth.
We will also explore topics such as Environment, Health and Safety, Bill C-45 (legal
ramifications of being a Supervisor), Required Forms (such as Permits/FLHAs),
Progress/Productivity and Planning, Labour Relations/Discipline, The Canadian
Model(post-incident testing) and ITPs (QAQC)
By the end of the program, participants gain a deeper understanding of what it means to lead
with integrity, set a positive example, and create a high-performing team. The training provides
both the strategic mindset and hands-on tools required to successfully supervise others and
contribute to long-term success as a Leader and a Supervisor.
