Review the section on Management Development in Chapter 9 of the Mathis text.
Identify two skills you would like to strengthen, and explain why these areas would help you supervise your new team.
A response of approximately 300 words, which indicates the two skills you would like to develop. In your response, you will need to justify your selection of these skills. Explain why these skills are important in enabling you to supervise your team.
