Supervisory skills

Listening: I did note this skill with the manager. Miss Judith is a good listener to her employees. She does not overreact even in the presence of a technical hitch. A good example is when the distribution machine broke down. She acted in a calm way to seek for a solution. The technical men were called in and they handled the issue in a mature way.

Availability: Miss Judith keeps a register of all employees.  This enables her keep track of absentees from the place of work. This information also assists her in evaluating the amount of salary an employee is supposed to earn basing on the number of hours he or she has been active. This puts the employees on toes as they realize time is money. She also turns up to her place of work on time, to the utter surprise of other employees. She presents herself whenever needed to solve any issue within her capacity. Her availability puts her at the best position to understand all the departments within the organization.

Mission:  She figures out the most significant matters that need to be dealt with and ensures all is well. She works out to ensure the success of the company.

Transparency: This does not mean that she exposes all her secrets. She values confidentiality but allows the needed openness at the place of work. All records are accounted for and the employees are allowed to scrutinize any work done. This ensures positive progress in the organization.

Delegation: Most of the times when she did experience heavy workload, she did delegate it to other workers. She did not allow her workload to break her down. Supervision could be left to junior managers. She could also ask the security guard to check on the attendance and punctuality of the employees.

Taking responsibility and giving credit: She made policies within the organization that stood out to ensure that every one was accountable for his or her acts. People were very careful in their dealings and they were out to ensure that everything worked out for the good of the company. Those who performed well were commended and given higher ranks in the organization. She valued hard work and dedication for the success of the company.

Realism: She ensured that all set goals were attainable. There was no unrealistic target in her mission and vision for the company. She tried not to engage her employees in works that could not benefit the organization.

At the time of my survey, the company was experiencing a major hiccup in the machine’s department. There was a major machine breakdown at that time. A technical hitch had caused all this. The presence of Miss Judith at the place of work ensured that the problem was dealt with immediately. She called in the technical department who were fast in ensuring that the machines were back into their normal working conditions. If she would not have been around, the company would experience loses due to the machine failure.

I would wish to take this position. This is because I am ready for new challenges in the sector. The possibility of handling more employees will also be an interesting factor.
