How important is it to evaluate your
effectiveness? I would say it is
up there with taking responsibility for your health. High on the list!
You can’t get where you want to go if you don’t have a clear picture of
the destination, a road map and plenty of fuel. Frequently consider where you are and where you want to
be. Lay out the road map to close
the gap between the two.
Supervisor
Boot Camp,
|
Here’s a profile of the ideal leader
developed by a group of supervisors participating in a training workshop on discipline. When asked to identify the ten major
functions of an effective supervisor ranked in order of importance, they came
up with the following list:
- Delegates authority in areas affecting their work
- Consults with subordinates before making decisions pertaining to their job responsibilities
- Gives employees the reasons for implementing decisions.
- Doesn’t play favorites.
- Praises excellent work.
- Reprimands subordinates who fail to observe the proper chain-of-command relationships
- Never reprimands or disciplines in front of coworkers.
- Encourages employees to offer their opinions and criticisms of supervisory policies.
- Listens to employees’ explanations before placing blame in disciplinary situations; accepts reasonable explanations, not excuses.
- Obeys all the rules that subordinates are expected to obey.
This is a great checklist for you to use
when scrutinizing your effectiveness.
