David Betts, Vice President, Human Resource & Employee Relations, Monterey Peninsula College
Cecy Garcia, Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Human Resources, Palo Verde College
Community college managers serve in diverse areas of responsibility, including academic affairs, student services, fiscal, human resources, facilities, information technology, public relations, institutional research, etc. The experience managers bring into their positions of having previously supervised people is similarly varied and diverse. Typically, colleges hire us into management positions because we demonstrated potential and promise from having done something or some things well. Supervising people is generally not one of those things, especially for entry level managers. This training will fill that gap and give you a foundation for successfully managing the performance and addressing the conduct of the people you supervise. Following these principles will make it much easier for your Human Resources department to be able to support you and have your back as you face the challenges of managing people.
