Making The Transition To Supervisor
Company Logo
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 of 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.
