Top workers must change to be top supervisors
Gerald Graham Knight notes promotion changes. The piece argues supervisors must teach, involve others, tolerate errors, depend on staff, and pace help to avoid overreach. It emphasizes accountability and shifting from doing to guiding subordinates.
Judge how you think your subordinates would rate you on scales
Gerald Graham, a professor at Wichita State University and management consultant, asks subordinates to rate supervisor fairness, support, training, accountability, communication, problem solving, patience, change preparation, respect, workload oversight, leadership acceptance, and transition effectiveness. Thirty-six points or higher suggests an effective transition to supervision. 24 or less suggests an inattentive transition. 25 to 35 indicates need for improvement.
