Supervisor’s Toolkit: Practical Leadership Techniques for IR Success (ADDITIONAL FEE/PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED)

Session Abstract: Supervisors in Institutional Research (IR) are often promoted for technical expertise but receive little formal training in leading people. This interactive workshop provides a Supervisor’s Toolkit of practical, easy-to-apply techniques—covering delegation, feedback, recognition, and team alignment—tailored to the realities of IR offices. Rather than theory, the session emphasizes hands-on practice: participants will role play common IR situations such as vague requests, missed deadlines, or competing project priorities, and apply structured techniques to resolve them. Through realistic scenarios and action planning, attendees will gain immediately usable strategies to strengthen clarity, build trust, and enhance the effectiveness of IR teams on their campuses.
