Have you ever worked for a good boss?  How about a great boss?  What do the world’s best bosses, “Superbosses,” do that others don’t?  

They are able to facilitate extraordinary innovation by attracting exceptional people and unleashing their full potential through their organizations.

How better to learn about talent than to study the bosses who developed the most talent in their industries? We invite you to take part in an inspirational and engaging two-hour All Supervisor’s meeting devoted to self-development and employee engagement. Our special guest, Dr. Sydney Finkelstein will share a blueprint for success as a high-performing manager. No matter what your vantage point in the organization is, Sydney helps all supervisors bring out the best in themselves and others.

We should all aspire to be a “Superboss” that can facilitate extraordinary innovation by attracting exceptional people and unleashing their full potential through their organizations.

All supervisors should plan on joining us in Emerson Suites on Thursday, November 17th from 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
