Hi. In this video, you will be learning about 6 steps that would help you become a better supervisor.
Do you feel like your employees need motivation and inspiration from time to time but you cannot offer them that? Do you feel like your judgments and decisions are the hardest part of your job? Well, inspiring your employees and motivating them is essential for having a healthy and a productive work environment. Listening to your team members and being compassionate about their struggles and problems whether it is personal or work-related, gives your employees the chance to trust you and follow their leader. Therefore, following the steps introduced in this video will guarantee that you become a better leader.
Here are the 6 steps to lead by example.
-
Inspire: Be an inspiration to your employees. Employees always seek for guidance and they will instantly take their supervisor as an example. Setting the right example to your employees helps them do the job more efficiently as well as ensuring that they will feel safer knowing that their supervisor is there to help.
-
Acknowledging failure: As a supervisor, you are still prone to failing or taking a wrong decision. Yet, failure can be a success if acknowledged and fixed. Being the supervisor, some employees might find it intriguing and will not acknowledge their mistakes due to fear. Your task is to assure them that it is okay to fail but it is not okay to keep on doing the wrong thing.
-
Motivation: To be a leader you should motivate. Motivation is a necessary factor that humans cherish. If an employee fails to do a job or lacks motivation, be a leader, help them with their work or guide them. A manager tells an employee to do a task, a leader will do the task with the employees and supervise it.
-
Listening: Listening skills are vital to leadership. Listening to a suggestion from a team member could change the course of a task, action, or decision and direct it to the right path. As a supervisor, you should encourage everyone to speak, and you should listen.
-
Courage: As a leader, hard decisions must be made from time to time. Calculating risks and taking them needs a courageous leader. It also sets an example for the employees to always have the courage to suggest, commit to a task even if it is risky as well as empowering you as a leader.
-
Compassion: Being compassionate with your employees or team members is a humanitarian act that every leader should practice. Employees are only humans and are prone to work-related or personal issues as well as the daily hassles that face them. Be the source of comfort to your employees and make them feel safe, but be tough when needed.
