Which type teaches managers how to lead teams effectively?

• A. Orientation
• B. Personal Development
• C. Management & Supervisory Training
• D. Basic Skills Training

Answer: (C)

Leading teams effectively is about developing the ability to supervise people, coordinate tasks, give feedback, resolve conflicts, and guide a group toward shared goals. Management & Supervisory Training focuses on these exact capabilities, teaching how to plan, organize, direct, and control team performance, assign responsibilities, coach employees, and address performance issues. It’s specifically aimed at leaders and those who supervise others, helping them translate strategy into actionable team actions.

Orientation is about bringing new hires up to speed on policies and culture, not about leading teams. Personal Development targets broad self-improvement for individuals and may touch on leadership, but it isn’t centered on supervising a team. Basic Skills Training covers fundamental or job-specific skills, not the leadership and supervision skills needed to manage others.
