Supervisor Leadership Development Program - NEW
This new course combines the fundamentals of the call center's unique operating environment and metrics with leadership and coaching skills to provide call center supervisors with a curriculum that is specifically suited to them. Through this program, supervisors will learn the skills necessary to lead their teams to success.

"Inadequate supervisor training is one of the most common causes of poor contact center performance, said Joy Sobhani, ICMI Group Event Director. "The impact of improving the skills of those who directly manage the front line can be tremendous. ICMI is thrilled to offer this comprehensive curriculum for supervisor development for the first time publicly in Alexandria."

The Supervisor Leadership Development Program will be featured among six valuable courses offered through the Alexandria Symposium. This year's course lineup will touch on Contact Center Fundamentals, People Management, Metrics, and Coaching.
