Become a top supervisor by building skills

Managing human resources is challenging because it requires flexibility, insight and management abilities. A supervisor also needs to ensure that conflicts are prevented and resolved before they cause damage. The role of a supervisor is critical in building and maintaining the work environment and following work ethics.

To handle the various responsibilities, a supervisor must have developed skills in the following:

  • Listening skills – to understand the problems faced by the employees
  • Motivation – to encourage employees to improve their performance and skills
  • Leadership – to positively influence others to follow the right methods of operating and build a positive work environment
  • Management – to manage people, tasks, deadlines, and their own responsibilities

Skills to Supervise Individual Employees

A successful supervisor knows when to command and when to listen, and when to criticise and when to reward. By using innovative methods to motivate, build team spirit and encourage better performance, a supervisor can create a workforce that is skilled, self-disciplined and geared towards growth. Creative thinking and use of novelty can work wonders in engaging employees to achieve personal and professional growth.

Building of leadership skills helps supervisors to channelise the employees towards the achievement of goals, guide them through difficult times, and encourage them towards consistent growth.

Skills to Build a Productive Work Enviornment

A supervisor must aim to create a working environment where the employees feel free to come to him/her for advice and complaints, but at the same time do not become informal or friendly.

Resolution and prevention of conflicts is an important part of the building and maintaining of a productive work environment. As conflicts are natural and expected, a supervisor must identify conflicts in their infancy and resolve them immediately in such a way as to prevent their recurrence in the future.

Skills to Reach Goals on Time, Every Time

Goal setting and achieving of those goals require insight, flawless planning, and superior management skills. The goals set must either be finalised after asking for suggestions of the team members (in case of smaller teams) or must be linked to the growth of the employees, personal, professional, or both. That builds trust between the organisation and its employees, and also leads to self-motivated employees that seek and bring about the growth of the organisation.

As a supervisor is in constant contact with the employees, he/she is the important connection between the management of an organisation and its workforce. A skilled supervisor fulfils immediate and long-term goals while achieving growth for the employees at the same time.
