If businesses are to prosper it is vital to provide new supervisor training services, yet it is in this area that many businesses fail. Frequently too many supervisors are appointed in positions without first acquiring the necessary skills.
It would be very unusual for a business to promote a technical or trade related person into a position having not first insured date that they possessed the skill and qualifications to do the work. Yet in the field of supervision it seems that people are often appointed into positions for which they are ill equipped. It is small wonder therefore that these employees frequently find themselves unable to carry out their key supervisory tasks, regularly develop doubts regards their own ability and their confidence diminished. This in turn may lead into a cycle of stress and anxieties that build up and aggravate the situation further.
Sometimes the cause of this problem is the belief in an old mistaken theory that great managers are born not made. This belief advocates throwing people into the deep end trusting that their natural abilities will eventually surface helping them to cope and ultimately thrive. Another is the practice of promoting staff into supervisory roles based on their technical competence. In these instances it is believed that the primary duty of a line manager is to deal with the technicalities of the job role, and that if this is successfully achieved, the process of man management, perceived as a secondary level duty, will naturally follow.
Naturally a thorough understanding of the job technicalities is necessary, but leading businesses are aware that their success relies largely on developing the competency of their man management. The coaching and growth of man management skills is a practice that should take place both before and then throughout the job holders tenure. Some organizations actually see this type of training and development as a set of tools deemed essential for management to function correctly. In many instances bigger organizations would have a department to provide this training themselves. Smaller organizations take advantage of the many programs available through specialized training companies.
Ideally a supervisory development course should be subdivided into the core areas of management. Leadership in both theoretical and practical format will naturally receive a lot of attention. Topics covered would typically include how to motivate staff, effective decision-making, effective communication, how to empower subordinates. Another important aspect of leadership is the process of selecting and developing employees to fill the roles within the work section.
The second main category for training development would likely cover the subject of planning. This would cover topics such as the importance of planning and why organizations plan, forecasting for the future, defining success and action planning. This would very likely include a section on industry specific workplace policies and procedures and in particular health, safety and protecting the environment.
Of vital importance is the subject of organization or put more simply the process of how to get things done through others. The all-important management tools, delegation, communication and of course developing and managing teams, and the relationships both within and between teams.
Controlling and monitoring progress is another important supervisory function which should be a key part of training. This would cover the process of measuring the progress of work, evaluating this against planning objectives and taking appropriate corrective steps when required.
Empowering new and future supervisors with skills as outlined, will provide them with the tools to effectively carry out and succeed with their line management responsibilities.
