The greatest challenge for all supervisors is to make changes throughout the organization. Supervisors are preoccupied by change, both changes that they must react to, such as new and important threats and opportunities, and the changes that they initiate as a result of their beliefs and aspirations. There are many changes supervisors are going to face throughout their tenure. To increase organizational effectiveness-for instance, to improve efficiency, gain market share, supervisors are constantly improving procedures, evaluating situations, and scanning their environment for new problems or opportunities.
Leadership qualities are important for every supervisor and manager to have in a company.
People need leadership and want a leader to help them out. A successful supervisor will embrace new ideas, challenge old ideas, and live with paradox will be the supervisor's main trait. Welch saw a need to serve his customers better. He began to weed out some of their bureaucratic ways. Jack wanted an organization that could systematically foster the creation of new ideas, like the old GE culture had promoted the manufacture of products.
