Getting Along Well With Your Supervisors
I have had two different supervisors while working in my current position. Both were excellent employers who were dedicated to taking care of their employees; however, they both have very different working styles. I think this forum was a good reminder that is is important to remember that while people may have different working styles, they may still be effective leaders. Also, communication is better than silence.
I have worked both as a supervisor and being supervised. The best supervisors that I have had allow (to the extent possible) aligning the output based upon input, communicating the desired outcomes, given due dates and followed up.
This has also been my experence
I have been working for 5 different supervisors at the same time andto know there different approachs to the way the work and what they demand for employes was a key to keeping a good working atmosphere in our work place.
I have worked with supervisors that knew less then I did. I found that I have had to train many of my own supervisors.
This is true for me also. I must remember that he is the boss, not me. Work with them and ask for his opinion and advise.
