Chief Master Sgt. (Ret.) Bob Vasquez, United States Air Force
The Power of SUPERvision
One of IHEA’s most popular speakers, Chief Master Sgt. Bob Vasquez returns with a new presentation based on his recently published book: The Power of SUPERvision! Every supervisor who aspires to become a SUPERvisor needs SUPERvision! SUPERvision starts with how you see yourself. What you see is what you’ll be. How do you see those people entrusted to you? How you see them is how they’ll be. How do they see you? They’re watching. You can count on that. Vision is important. SUPERvision is critical.
