The supervisor who is too busy getting out production to take the time to train subordinates adequately isn't doing a good job. This kind of supervisor is the fellow who can never be away from their own job. More often than not, proper training would make it easier to reach production goals. Playing Everything Close to the Chest Perhaps worst of all is the supervisor who keeps to all to themselves. They neglect to pass the work.
Nobody knows where they stand.
Instructions from this person are curt and incomplete. Questions are frowned on or rejected. This kind of supervisor typically keeps their own bosses in the dark, too. Turnover, overloads, slowdowns, and other problems occur unexpectedly. W. Harrison - North Tower, Ste.
