Bilingual supervisors should be your rock stars, but most employers are unaware of the pressures that these guys face. Did you know:

 

• Spanish speakers can face bitter resentment from their former peers when promoted?
• Typical managerial practices in Latin America tend to be much more dictatorial and less based on team-building than practices in the US?
• MANY bilingual supervisors are very unpopular with their teams---and don’t know what to do about it?
• Bilingual supervisors tend to be very reluctant to ask for help from their superiors?

 

In order to be effective and happy in their positions, bilingual supervisors need a different kind of targeted support from what their English-speaking counterparts generally get. Even if training is translated, it almost never addresses the most difficult challenges Spanish speakers face.

 

Futuro Sólido has developed extensive training modules, which have proven extremely valuable to participants and their employers.  Topics include, but are not limited to:

• How to be a Successful Supervisor in the USA (an overview of cultural differences)
• Getting Positive Results with Negative Feedback
• A Supervisor’s Role in Maintaining a Safe Environment
