9.
Autocratic- Supervisor makes all the decisions with little regard for his
subordinates, and as such the business unit will totally reflect the opinions
and personality of the manager.
Consultive- Supervisor tends to be a bit more people oriented, it is still
essentially an autocratic style but with some emphasis being placed on
employee interests as well as those of the business. Communications still
tend to be downward, but feedback upwards to the supervisor is encouraged
mainly in an attempt to build morale.
Persuasive- very aware of his subordinates, but not necessarily more
inclusive and the management style has much in common with the
dictatorial manager, as they still maintain total control over the decision
process, but just spend more time working with people to convince them of
the benefits of the decisions that have been made.
Paternalistic- A management style where the manager is still very autocratic
but does really care about the quality of life and work of his people.
10. The best managers have the ability to shift between the styles depending on the
particular team and the situation or project being faced, particularly in complex
and fast changing organizations, industries and markets, and that they can do
this without ever compromising their values or their integrity.
11.
State specific objectives of supervision.
Formulate a sound supervisory contract that
clarifies the expectations and parameters of
the supervision agreement.
Negotiate mutual decisions, rather than
making unilateral decisions, about the needs
of trainees.
Perform the role of a
teacher, counselor, consultant as appropriate.
Clarify the supervisory roles.
12. Supervisors have a lot on their shoulders when
it comes to their employees and clients. They
must have control over their employees but
they also have to be aware of not taking more
than they can handle.
