Flight From Savo

Send administrators on an exploration of their supervisory skills with Flight from Savo, HRDQ's exciting hands-on adventure game. This energizing supervisory skills training gives participants first-hand experience of the fundamental leadership skills presented in our award-winning Supervisory Skills Questionnaire.

This exciting supervisory skills training game demonstrates how a supervisor puts the five critical supervisory skills to work. Presented with a predetermined set of toy parts and left with having to build an escape plane, each group elects a supervisor who guides the construction project using the five supervisory skills.

While building an escape plane, series of "setbacks" and "lucky breaks" complicates and facilitates the group’s work and also challenges the supervisor. The simulation ends when the reconstructed plane is deemed airworthy. After the models are completed (approximately 60 minutes later), participants take part in a group discussion on the use of the five supervisory skills used during the activity.

The five supervisory skills include:

1. Guiding the work: Taking the direction of the organization and translating it into actionable plans.
2. Organizing the work: Assigning people, equipment, and tasks to meet goals.
3. Developing your staff: Actively working to increase the skill level of each employee.
4. Managing performance: Removing obstacles so employees can meet personal and organizational objectives.
5. Managing relations: Developing and maintaining good relationships with other groups so that the supervisor’s employees and the organization achieve their goals.

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

• Learn five fundamental supervisory skills.
• Practice the five skills in an engaging "live" group project.
• Receive direct feedback on skill strengths and weaknesses.
• Understand the challenges of being a supervisor.
• Determine which skills one can apply to be more effective on the job.
• Maximize your supervisory potential by learning and practicing five fundamental skills.
• Gain direct feedback on your strengths and weaknesses while understanding the challenges of the role.
