Especially for Supervisors

Professional & Organizational Development conducts the Strategic Leadership Program (SLP) which is a centrally funded, comprehensive training program UW supervisors. The Provost and Executive Vice President require that all newly hired or promoted UW supervisors complete the Strategic Leadership Program (SLP) within six months of appointment.

The UW recognizes the vital role supervisors play as leaders, and seeks to provide them with additional support through training in the following core competencies:

• Self Awareness
• Decision Making and Problem Solving
• Managing Conflict and Negotiating Agreements
• Application of Key HR Policies and Procedures
• Planning Effectively for Self and Others

The SLP is a multi-day workshop with the following requirements:

1. Newly appointed supervisors must complete the program within six months of appointment.
2. Participants must attend all workshop sessions.
3. Due to curriculum design, no make-up classes are accepted.

Go to the Strategic Leadership Program (SLP) web page for more information and to register for Strategic Leadership Program.
