Description

Communication is the key to most successful relationships; the supervisor-staff relationship is no exception. Understanding each other and engaging in feedback conversations with intention, adaptability, and self-awareness is critical in building trusting and productive work relationships.

Effective supervisors, whether new to the role or coming with an abundance of experience, tap into self-awareness, are adaptive, and leverage a range of interpersonal skills. Using these practices, a supervisor creates a culture of mutual respect — one in which employees and supervisors communicate regularly and clearly about job-related expectations, tasks, and overall performance.
