Take and teach curriculum

This intensive, ready-to-deploy course transforms supervisors into proactive problem-solvers, enabling them to move beyond quick fixes to implement lasting, systemic solutions. It equips leaders with the investigative mindset and structured 7-step process required to analyze workplace challenges, employee issues, and organizational roadblocks at the root level.

Core Skills & Course Components

The curriculum is built around the Five Essential Clues of investigation:

  • Observation: Learn to quickly sense, identify, and make connections to define the problem. This skill improves data gathering and proactive problem identification.
  • Analysis (The 5 Whys): Master Root Cause Analysis by persistently asking “Why?” until the true underlying source of a persistent problem is found. This technique ensures solutions target systems, not just symptoms, and prevents problems from continually resurfacing.
  • Inference: Develop the skill of reaching a logical conclusion based on evidence and reasoning. This involves making educated guesses by combining your observations, prior knowledge, and analysis to fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle.
  • Communication: Enhance essential skills—including Active Listening, Empathy, and Confidence—necessary to effectively explain problems and solutions to stakeholders. Strong communication improves team buy-in and conflict resolution.
  • Logical Steps & Execution: Learn a structured, 7-step problem-solving process (Define, Gather Info, Brainstorm, Pick, Execute, Evaluate, Adjust). The process focuses on leveraging team strengths during execution to achieve goals faster than working alone.

Description

Move your supervisors beyond “Band-Aid” fixes to implementing lasting, systemic solutions.

This intensive course, Supervisory Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, equips leaders with the investigative mindset and structured processes required to analyze workplace challenges, employee performance issues, and organizational roadblocks at the root level. It is designed to transform supervisors into proactive problem-solvers who can define issues clearly, gather unbiased evidence, and drive effective change within their teams.

Course Objectives & Core Skills Development

This curriculum is structured around the five essential “Clues” needed for successful problem resolution:

  • Clue #1: Observation: Learn to use sensory awareness to quickly sense and identify new problems. Move beyond just noticing the environment; keen observation involves making connections between what you see and deeper levels of meaning in your surroundings.
  • Clue #2: Analysis (The 5 Whys): Master the “5 Whys” technique for Root Cause Analysis, ensuring you define the true source of a persistent or reoccurring problem rather than applying a temporary “Band-Aid”. This involves gathering unbiased information, asking relevant questions, and assessing findings objectively.
  • Clue #3: Inference: Develop the skill of reaching a logical conclusion based on evidence and reasoning. This involves making educated guesses by combining your observations, prior knowledge, and the answers to your “why” questions to fill in missing pieces of the puzzle.
  • Clue #4: Communication: Enhance essential communication skills—including Active Listening, Empathy, and Confidence—necessary to explain problems, root causes, and solutions effectively to colleagues and stakeholders.
  • Clue #5: Logical Steps & Execution: Learn a structured, 7-step problem-solving process (Define, Gather Information, Brainstorm, Pick, Execute, Evaluate, Adjust). Focus on leveraging team strengths during execution to achieve goals faster than working alone.
Supervisors will gain the confidence to slow down, analyze thoroughly, and foster a team culture that solves problems for long-term success.
