The Manager’s Everyday Toolbox (formerly Essential Supervisory Skills: Supervisor’s Toolkit) was designed to help supervisors contribute to the success of their teams and organizations. The interaction and relationship between the employee and supervisor is critical to the employee’s performance and contribution to the team. Because these lessons and tools are applicable in many contexts, I-TECH is sharing the document publicly as a resource for our professional peers. The Manager’s Everyday Toolbox was written by Richard Wilkinson, MPA, MA; Principal at Manage Bravely, a Consultancy. For any questions about the Toolbox, please contact Richard Wilkinson.
