Promoted to Maintenance Supervisor; NOW WHAT?
with Paul Rhodes, Brookfield Properties Multifamily

Many Technicians receiving a promotion to Maintenance Supervisor in the recent past have filled this role without exposure to skills needed to be successful. Valuable disciplines including delegation, time/project management, purchasing, as well as how to develop both hard and soft skills, are missing information in the typical career development plan for our on-site teams. All this is in addition to contending with an unprecedented amount of regulatory and technological changes! This session will scratch the surface of these topics while providing valuable action plans and some tips and tricks to become successful.

In this class you’ll learn:

  • Upon completion, participants can triage which tasks to handle personally and which to delegate.
  • Upon completion, participants will begin to move from reacting to initiating action.
  • Upon completion, participants will think beyond responding to symptoms of a problem and diagnose the root cause of operational issues.
