How to supervise the staff

Exercising a position of coordination or management is not always easy, and is that not only is it about having the right knowledge for the position but also having the right attitude to manage a certain group of people, so in we offer some important strategies to take into account when supervising personnel

Steps to follow:

one

First, there is the obvious, to treat the other with respect, tact, ethics and empathy, that is, do not treat your staff as you would not like to be treated, a basic concept that applies both to the work and personal

two

Be an example for your employees and colleagues, reflect in your own behavior the demands that you pose to your staff, otherwise you can hardly ask them to achieve something without them noticing that you yourself do not strive to do it

3

Find a middle ground between being a sheep that blindly follows the company and the manager who only criticizes it. Your team should see you as a person aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the company, as someone who is willing to defend them if necessary but who is also clear about how things work within the corporation

4

Be communicative, give effectively what you need, state goals and learn to delegate, do not overlook anything you think is necessary to inform or that seems obvious to you, the clearer the leadership the better

5

Even if a situation or an employee makes your hair stand on end, always stay calm, losing control also loses the reason and the valid point of your argument, remember it

6

Be patient, remember that part of the work includes dealing with different types of people, one more working others less, some with more positive qualities and others more negative, use the communication tool to let an employee know when he is not meeting the objectives, but do it calmly and with patience

7

No one wants a mom-style supervisor, who is always on top of their employees. Establish rules and regulations, leave them clear and expect your employees to comply, if someone breaks them constantly you must face the problem in the way you consider logical and fair, but you can not waste the workday following step by step what each one does

8

If you feel that you have failed as a supervisor or that you fail to give the maximum desired, do not hesitate to attend a special training and training course to improve your skills. The idea is that both you and your employees have the opportunity to grow under your supervision
