Seven Steps to Successful Supervision

A Highlight from the Upcoming NAGC Communications School

Whether you’ve been a supervisor for years or are new to managing people, the relationship between you as a supervisor and those you supervise is one of the most important. But between long, busy workdays and stressful situations, that relationship can get ignored or thrown out the door entirely.

Elisa Ortiz, deputy director of government affairs and outreach at Smart Growth America, will cover the seven core skills any good supervisor needs in a session at the National Association of Government Communicators’ 2013 Communications School. Whether working with interns, staff in the field, or senior level employees. “Seven Steps to Successful Supervision” will be held April 18 at 10:00 a.m. The 2013 NAGC Communications School, will be held April 16-19 at the Pentagon City Sheraton in Arlington, Va.
