Leaders keep learning.

Unfortunately, 47 percent of new supervisors receive no formal supervisor training. The rest, train for success! Leaders who receive tools, skills and training become influential leaders. Trained managers go on to foster engaged and productive teams. They drive outstanding results for their organizations, and their impact is contagious.
