Addison-Wesley Longman, 1998. A source of advice on common motivational problems. One job of a supervisor is to help staff grow and contribute to the goals and objectives of the organization. If you actually help staff become more successful than they could be on their own, you are a mentor . If you are not willing to help staff members grow professionally and actually contribute to their undoing, you are a tormentor.
People don t like uncertainty.
They respond best to change when they participate in the process. Dispel negative rumors with facts and a calm demeanor. Staff members are much more likely to go along with change when they see how well you handle it. Staff will have confidence when their supervisors have a firm grip on the future and appear to have a plan to make things work well for the organization. Supervisors can t forget that the work of the unit is the reason it exists.
