City of Canton Hosts Succeeding as a Supervisor Training Program Leaders from across the county joined together at the City of Canton to participate in a leadership training class. Over the course of five weeks, Carrie T. Hamilton, from the Carl Vinson Institute of Government at the University of Georgia, instructed students in the “Succeeding as a Supervisor” course. Twenty-nine participants attended on behalf of the City of Canton, the City of Woodstock, and Cherokee County. The introductory five-day program was developed to provide the knowledge and skills one would need to be effective in their role as a supervisor. The ideal participant for the training is a supervisor who has been in his or her job two years or less, someone who is not currently a supervisor but is interested in developing those skills, or a long-term supervisor with no formal supervisor training. Course topics include building trust, performance evaluation, leading teams, handling conflict, and planning and delegating. Participants are provided with a certificate of completion at the conclusion of the training program and leave with the foundational knowledge and skills to succeed as a supervisor. The City of Canton plans to host another opportunity to complete the program in fall 2023.
