Supervising other people is an important responsibility. The success in doing it comes from really paying attention. In the military, the best leaders I had were those who acted as if their primary job was taking care of their people and doing everything they could to help their people get recognition and get promoted.
The worst leaders were definitely those who felt important because they had been chosen to be in charge. Rather than trying to help ALL of their people, they were quite selective and chose critically who to support and who to sink.
Do you communicate to your people, on a daily basis, that they are important to you? Can you do it with your actions and not by having to say it? Being genuine is really the key.
It is definitely worth taking time out every once in a while to reflect on how you are doing as a supervisor and reflecting on the qualities you recognize as being valuable.
Stay warm!
