Role of the Supervisor – Be There for Those You Supervise!
The
ultimate litmus test of successful supervisor is the supervisor’s ability to
translate the intention of the organization into reality and then sustain it
and make it grow through continual engagement of all stakeholders. The role of
a true supervisor in this effort is to develop strategy, provide a vision, set
direction, define the right outcomes, select the best talent, and then be there
to enable those you supervise to realize
their full potential. To that end, as a supervisor you should:
·
Define your supervisory role as a “coach of
human potential.”
· Assess and enhance your supervisory strengths
and competencies continually, as well as the strengths and competencies of
those they lead.
· Create and sustain a positive and disciplined
corporate culture through example that is reinforced within a supportive work
environment.
· Develop a strong vision and then set direction
through a defined strategy.
· Communicate, consistently and often, the skills
and perceptions that are most important and desired for their employees’ success
in a great organization.
· Insist on a disciplined approach to business
processes and business outcomes.
· Encourage, support and allow all employees to be
creative and apply their talents toward the innovative implementation of new
products and services.
· Create synergy throughout the organization/department
so that, together, all stakeholders can have a greater total effect than the
sum of their individual effort.
·
Communicate the importance of the customer
constantly.
·
Provide consistent measurement and effective
feedback.
· Constantly listen for feed back from those you
lead so you can improve your supervisory skills and effectiveness.
·
Be constantly engaged with those you lead
In
attempting to realize high-performance goals and transformational change, as
well as create higher levels of performance, you the supervisor must constantly
seek new ways of engaging the hearts and minds of all of your employees. You
must force decision making that is aligned with the overall strategy and
objectives of the organization, to encompass all the people you supervise.
As
their supervisor you must align the thousands of small, individual, daily
decisions made by your employees so they become part of the collective,
synergistic big picture. This will require an enhanced style of supervision — a
supervisory style that is comfortable with anxiety, deals with disruption, and
can transform for tomorrow while doing business today. It will necessitate a supervisory
style that requires you to acquire, train, coach, and keep only the very best
people, while leading them to an agreed upon vision of the future. You must constantly be
there for them, helping them to be all that they can be.
