KU Public Management Center

?? Supervisors, This One’s for You! ?? Had an incredible time leading a powerful session for participants of KU's Local Technical Assistance Program on "The Supervisor’s Role in Enhancing Cooperative Work Relationships." on behalf of KU Public Management Center????. Shout out to all of hard working supervisors and crews that keep our roads and bridges operating safely. Here’s the truth: high-performing teams don’t just happen. They’re built on trust, communication, and strong leadership. And at the core? Supervisors who model, teach, and reward the right behaviors. In this training, we tackled real-world workplace dynamics, focusing on how supervisors can: ? Reduce workplace tension and boost collaboration ? Set the tone for respect and accountability ? Turn discord into harmony for a more productive team If you’re a leader struggling with workplace drama, disengaged employees, or team misalignment, it’s time to shift the culture. ?? What’s one workplace challenge your team faces? Drop it in the comments—I’d love to hear your thoughts! ? #Leadership #Supervisors #WorkplaceCulture
