Overview
Why Study Supervision?
This book presents two compelling reasons to study supervision and supervisory leadership:
- Influential Position: Supervisors exert considerable influence on organizational settings. Supervisors have been schooled, developed, and trained for their responsibilities. They can function more effectively than if they learn through informal, sometimes haphazard means. It thus pays to learn about supervision because supervisors can influence how efficiently and effectively their organization functions.
- Career Path: Many career paths lead to supervision. Supervisors are everywhere. Supervisors are teachers, doctors, accountants, lawyers, plumbers, and electricians. If you aspire to advance within your occupation, you may find that one career path leads to supervision. Preparing for supervisory responsibilities can prepare you for advancement. You may thus have a personal stake – your own future – in learning about what supervisors do and how they do it.
In addition, this book:
- Provides strategies for building solid relationships with team members.
- Uses positivity as a foundational practice to lead and encourage other employees.
- Provides guidelines on how to hold employees accountable and set high expectations.
- Presents strategies to engage, coach, and develop employees by creating a positive
- environment to influence attitudes and behaviors.
