Many years ago when I was promoted to a shop foreman position the business owners sent me to management classes, one program was an adult education program taught at a career center and some were one and two day seminar type things. I found the training valuable and still practice some of the techniques I learned.
These days when I look at reviews for one or two day seminars most of the reviews are terrible, it seems the main goal is to up sell additional seminars and programs/books etc., so I never send anyone. I have three people that have been promoted into leadership positions and as much as I try to coach them they sometimes don't handle things correctly, which in this day and age can result in lawsuits. When I have suggested a more structured program I get excuses of why they shouldn't or couldn't give up an evening a week for six weeks to take a class.
Do you train your managers/supervisors? What are some programs others have used or gone thru that you found helpful? Do you require your supervisors to get certification of some sort?
I'm in the US if it matters, non union shop.
Thanks
