Being a supervisor is tough work. People all around you want, need, and in some cases deserve your help; your energy But you can be successful if you follow these 5 Tips.
1. be a teacher not a cop 2. establish a positive working relationship with everyone around you 3. be willing to “take on some conflict”/” provide that corrective feedback” 4. you need to be committed to this success of your direct reports 5. you need to be committed to your own drowth and development thanks a lot!
This is great, sound and wise advice in order for supervisors to be committed, respectful, respected and efficient. As someone whom is not a supervisor, one of the biggest problems I've come across over and over is many supervisors (and managers) have extremely poor people/social skills. They throw their weight around and disrespect employees. Even if you have an issue to bring to someone, you should still know how to talk to a person...don't talk to or treat people like they're trash. Supervisors need to do better. People are more willing to work with you and listen to you when you're not being nasty.
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this video but 1 minute in you had me. Very well said, you have me taking notes. This sounds very much like the recipe for success. Thank you!

Great advice. In my opinion, these key characteristics are essential for success in a leadership position. A company that provides a positive work culture with a management team that practice this type of leadership behavior will have the foundation needed for economical growth and development. I have a question.. how can an entry level supervisor implement said behavior effectively if the organization is large and not every member of management share the same supervision strategy? To be more specific, a large corporation with multiple levels within the chain of command, which has led to a disconnection between employees and management. “Crap roles down hill”. Policies implemented can be difficult to agree with and even harder to enforce if opinions of opposition are not welcomed. Having to play “both sides of the fence” as a first time supervisor with this type of work culture, in my experience, makes success difficult. As a result, I have found myself hesitant to accept promotions and avoid the “headache”. Thus, the company suffers for not utilizing its resources effectively. Consequently, supervisors that have accepted promotions begin to further distance themselves from employees. Leading to a loss of trust, respect, and motivation needed from previous coworkers that is necessary for success. Again, this is what I’ve experienced.
Thanks for your note Dusttin. You raise some interesting and important points. I have told others in your situation that when they implement some of the principles I discuss, in the long run they will be successful. Sooner or later these strategies will have positive results - like lower turnover. And, someone will begin to notice, "why is the turnover in Dusttin's unit so much lower?" That will be your teaching moment as far as the rest of the organization is concerned. Not easy. I used to publish a weekly newsletter (Larry's Tips) and I will be happy to send you a few of them fyi. Let me know if you are interested at larryw@fcphealthierworkplaces.com.
Hi I got a job for marketing supervisor, but the problem is i didnt have any work experience and im too young compare to my sales team. Because of this i have a self doubt . Could you give me an advise?
Thank you for your kind remarks. Are you in India? Do you feel that my remarks are appropriate/helpful for the workplace in that culture too? I hope you are well.

I work at UPS too. Yeah same tactics used here and it doesn't work. When you're screaming at someone making only 80 to 120 bucks a week you're not going to scare them, you're going to piss them off. I purposefully slow down when supervisors are around. Way down. If they get upset, I stop what I'm doing, listen to them until they're done and then resume working at the same exact speed and if they start yelling again, I stop everything, look them in the eye, and wait for them to stop before I resume working again.
Same at many of the jobs I've had. They have very poor social and communication skills. Don't want to treat people with respect, but yet they want to be respected and listened to. Most supervisors I've known are conniving and mean.
What if they dont respect you because you became a supervisor after doing what they did.. starting where they started from.. or what about because they are young.. or your trying to change because the old supervisor let them do what they wanted to do..
thanks Allah, i am practicing all these tips already but my director is angry and he says we should be strict and strict i do not know what to say to him....
Vicky - I have heard other people say that too. I think it comes down to which strategy works in the long run.. Which strategy leads to greater productivity, higher efficiency and lower turnover. The other thing to consider is the age we are living in. The old authoritarian way does not work anymore. Now people want to be treated with more respect and consideration. Like it or not, that's the truth. Anytime you would like to talk about this some more, text me at 2155345625.
Actually the more job stress, the more these tips are important. Think of them as an investment -theyt can directly contribute to lowered stress levels in your workplace and overall, a healthier organization. Visit my new website: www.healthierworkplaces.com
