The Take Charge Training Concept

Gordy Williams, president, EDI

The difference between a “proactive” supervisor and a “status quo” supervisor can amount to millions of dollars in the mining business. The Take Charge approach is a dramatic departure from traditional supervisory training efforts. It focuses on results rather than classsroom activities. After each compact skills unit is presented to your management team, they are required to apply the learned skills and tools “back on the job.” They are held individually and collectively accountable to do this. Specially developed tools and measures are used to indicate the degree of success each supervisor achieves. These measures apply to both hard and soft skills.
