Foundations of Supervision
Foundations of Supervision (FOS) is a comprehensive two-part program designed to provide new U-M supervisors with critical and technical supervisory information and best practices in leadership development. FOS content is contextualized to address contemporary workplace issues related to being an effective supervisor in the University of Michigan's decentralized, higher education environment.
Both sessions of the program are a combination of formal and informal learning activities aimed at providing participants with a well-rounded, personal learning experience. Classroom activities include a mixture of discussions, case-studies, lectures, guest speakers, and other experiential activities. Informal learning activities are intended to enhance the classroom experience and include brief class readings, selection of and meeting with personal advisors, a brief research or workplace application project for class presentation, check-in meetings with supervisors, and networking opportunities.
Note: UMHS employees should visit www.med.umich.edu/Leadership/index.htm for information on the Foundations for Successful Leadership program which is offered at no charge to UMHS employees and is customized for that audience.
