Understand the ‘’Push – Pull’’ reality
-
Supervisors are often pushed into a number of
jobs they are not particularly trained to deal with – yet it has to be done.
-
At the same time they are pulled back by
things they would like to continue doing but can’t.
-
The problem then is learning to manage
anxiety over the pushes and not slip back into established comfort zones
regarding the pulls.
Understanding The Linking Nature Of The Process
-
The Supervisor is the vital link up / down
the organization – a leader of one group, a member of another. Employees often
perceive the organization through the actions of the supervisor.
Understand That A New Skills Mix Is Essential
-
Success in supervision often means letting go
og operating duties and taking on new challenges.
-
At higher levels the job becomes more
open-ended and conceptual.
-
At all levels, human skills are critical.
