Supervision
In today’s business, the supervisor
or team leader is the main link
between the organization’s goals
and the people who are
responsible for the daily activities
that make those goals a reality.
Because of the necessary and
integral role that this position
plays, it is obvious that good
supervisors and team leaders are
key to the success of any
organization.
Many decisions required within
this role every day affect profits,
productivity, service levels, as well
as attitudes, and morale. With a
role and function of this
magnitude, it would seem logical
that the process of becoming a
supervisor and team leader would
require years and years of training.
However, most supervisors and
team leaders have had little or no
training in the required skills.
Almost universally, today’s
supervisory force is made up of
men and women who have been
promoted from being a superworker
to being a supervisor or
team leader.
The Process for Results
Supervisory Development is a
process that makes supervisor and
team leadership development not
only possible, but also eminently
profitable. Individually, each
supervisor and team leader reflects
the proficiency of a specialized
knowledge. Together, they form a
powerful force that assures the
achievement of organizational goals
through its people.
Three Essential Elements
Attitude Development
Attitude is the basis of all individual
behavior. The effectiveness of a
supervisor or team leader will depend
on their behavior in a given situation.
Improved results and productivity
begins by developing the attitudes
that govern the person’s behavior.
Behavior Management Skills
Better than 50% of a supervisor’s or
team leader’s time is spent managing
other people. To be effective in this
role, it is important that the
individual develop the skills necessary
to effectively communicate and
maximize productivity.
Goal Accomplishment
A supervisor or a team leader not
only sets goals but also needs to
determine how they will be
achieved, what obstacles must be
overcome in the process, and the
time line necessary. The Supervisory
process provides a proven
goal accomplishment model that
can be immediately applied to any
organization.
