Overview
This series is specifically designed for staff new to the role of supervisor or team leader and those who recognise the need to refresh their skills for leading a team. Emphasis will be placed on improving personal competence and developing strategies for managing and supervising individuals and teams. To maximise the transfer of learning back to the work place, participants, in partnership with their supervisors, will identify skills and behaviours required to achieve work unit and individual goals for each participant. Using a Learning Map, these will be plotted to ensure alignment between learning and real work based outcomes. Participants will also be expected to complete an action learning project relevant to their work place that will be reviewed at a follow-up workshop after the completion of the 5 module program.
Intended Outcomes
The program will cover areas such as distinguishing the difference between leadership and management, working with a team, the role of managers and leaders, communication and effective people management skills. These skills will be useful for assisting individual as well as team development
Course Content
Introductory workshop
This workshop will provide the Monash context and set the framework for the rest of the program. A member of the Vice-Chancellor's Group will make the keynote presentation outlining Monash University, our Statement of Purpose and the Monash Values including the university's strategic direction. The Monash planning approach will also be covered. This introductory session is designed to be completed by participants together with their supervisors.

Follow-up workshop (half-day) - Action Learning Projects
Due to the nature of an action learning project taking some time to complete, participants and their supervisors will be invited to a follow-up workshop where these projects will be presented. The project outcomes will be shown along with the learning that has taken place completing the project. We will also explore the learning opportunities that have occurred since the series conclusion.
Learning Approach
This series will incorporate the strategies of presentation, discussion, video input and practical case studies and skill practice. Participants will work in teams using an action learning methodology
Handouts
A comprehensive set of workshop notes will be distributed showing all content areas as well as activities and exercises
