SUPERVISION…..great supervisors and team leaders are a key
to success!

In today’s business, the supervisor or team leader is the main link between the organization’s goals and
the people who are responsible for the daily activities that make those goals a reality. Because of the
necessary and integral role that this position plays, it is obvious that good supervisors and team leaders
are keys to the success of any organization.

Many decisions required within this role every day affect profits, productivity, service levels, as well as
attitudes and morale. With a role and function of this magnitude, it would seem logical that the process
of becoming a supervisor and team leader would require years and years of training. However, most
supervisors and team leaders have had little or not training in the required skills. Almost universally,
today’s supervisory force is made up of men and women who have been promoted from being a super-
worker to being a supervisor or team leader.

possible, but eminently profitable.

Each supervisor and team leader reflects the proficiency of a specialized knowledge. The powerful
forces of knowledge and supervisory development, assure the achievement of organizational goals
through its people.

Attitude is the basis of all individual behavior. The effectiveness of a supervisor or team leader depends

attitudes that govern the person’s behavior.

Essential Element No. 2:
Behavior Management Skills
More than 50% of a supervisor’s or team leader’s time is spent managing other people. To be effective

Essential Element No. 3:
