Supervisory skills

[TheLasrStraw]

I've been working solo for a while but my new job will see me doing day to day supervision, which I've done before, but my people skills are a bit rusty.

What are your top tips for success?

A manager will do the appraisals, not me.

Depends really. Will you be supervising a team who are already doing the job, or are new recruits joing you in the job you have been doing solo?

New employer, team will be mix of existing employee and newbies like me.

Have you ever had a good supervisor yourself? What made them good?

Personally, the management skill that has worked best for me has been one that I copied from the best manager I ever had i.e. don't ask your team to do anything that you're not prepared to do yourself.
