Group Leader Development
Group leaders are employees who have been chosen to lead small groups of team members, but without the same authority as a supervisor or manager. They often act as a liaison between leadership and employees or project leads, giving work instructions, training new employees, and overseeing daily work by ensuring quality and safety. Group Leaders need to be trained to influence others, bring out their natural leadership ability, and prepare them to be a potential future supervisor.
Training needs may include leadership development, communication skills, train the trainer, and conflict management.
