...I'm going to sum up three vital qualities a supervisor must possess. Firstly, a supervisor must be kind-hearted, slow to anger, and stern if need be. Kind-hearted, as in to treat his employees well. A supervisor must know how to separate personal problem from work, and not take his personal problem to the office. He mustn't let his anger get the better of him. Just because he's a boss, doesn't mean he can lash out at his employees whenever he feels like, because that's surely not a quality of a good supervisor/boss. Stern if need be, point in case, if we bump into each other on streets, he would deign to offer a smile, but be stern at work, so as not to encourage his employees to take their works lightly and disrespect him. Secondly, a boss must put aside his status and not set his mind into thinking that he's above all his employees. He should try to befriend them as opposed to just order them around. Rather, try to see things from their insights and heed their advice instead of imposing his own opinion on his employees. He should try to build a good relationship with his employees based on trust. Truth be told, the only way he can get them to respect him, is earn their respect and trust. Therefore, he should. Last but not least, leadership and be an expert in his field. That is how he can get people to follow him. Rudely speaking, if you have an imbecile for a boss, you would more likely suck up to him in front and insult him behind his back. In a nutshell, no one...

...We all know when we have a good supervisor, but it can be quite difficult to actually state what makes a good supervisor good. Does it have to do with their personality, their insight, intelligence, or their personal beliefs, morals and values? Is it a mix of all these things, and do certain characteristics apply more than others? The first thing we should appreciate is that there are a huge amount of traits that need to be considered. Over the duration of the paper I will be focusing on a few select traits which I believe to be the most important in regards to being a good supervisor. Firstly, a good supervisor must be a good coach. For a supervisor to be successful, it is imperative that they have the qualities that we attribute to any normal coach. This is because a coach knows how important it is to coach their team, or in this case, employees. Successful coaching means working together with your employees to create and modify action plans and objectives. Supervisors must know how to delegate tasks between individuals, and give all the support and guidance that may be needed. On the topic of individuals, a good supervisor must understand that everybody is different, and to be mindful of this fact when dealing with his or her team members. Secondly, a good supervisor must have a positive outlook and be a positive thinker. He or she will think how problems can be solved, while maintaining an air of friendliness, so that they remain approachable, and their employees aren’t...

...Qualities of a Good Supervisor When it comes to describe qualities of a good supervisor, there is only one name which comes to my mind and that is Mr. Rajesh Angre. I had worked with him for five years and learned a lot from him. On the general basis, individuals are suppose to work harder and efficiently, when they are supervised by a supervisor. In the absence of a supervisor, almost everything may get disarranged; they will make a combined disaster. As I see it, the most critical qualities a great supervisor ought to have are personality, knowledge and tolerance. It is said that personality is the first sense of a person. Sometimes the personality of a person makes other people feel compelled to take after him. Since, supervisor needs to visit a few individuals in the business in order to make deals. In this case, the supervisor who possesses a good personality may prove more fruitful. Like, Mr. Angre had to meet multiple types of peoples from different social classes to make the arrangements to get his work done from the high level management class to co workers to lower grade workers. Personality of a person often helps to deal with the situations. A good supervisor must have some proven abilities, knowledge or understanding on the subject without which he might not be able to help a subordinate who approaches with a difficulty. The point when the subordinate needs help in some territory past his achieve the supervisor ought to have the capacity to offer...

...While most documentary films embrace a view that examines a person more or less from a biographical point of view, Robert Epstein and Richard Schiechen's documentary about the first openly gay elected official in the United States takes a somewhat different approach. The subject of the film, Harvey Milk, was elected to the San Francisco board of city supervisors in 1977, and proceeded to champion for the rights not only of homosexuals, but of underprivileged people in general, gaining popularity by appealing to minorities and working class folks. The story of Milk is one that demonstrates the power of the U.S. election system, one that serves the interest of the public when utilized to its fullest, and ultimately proves that anything is possible through perseverance and determination. Milk's story is truly fascinating. This openly gay man from New York state moved to San Francisco in the 1960s, becoming a figure in the counterculture and peace movements before expressing an interest in public office. While the majority of the public did not agree with some of his more outspoken views on the rights of gays and lesbians, Milk succeeded in winning over large portions of the public through his crusades for better representation in local government, interest in the livelihoods of average people, and dedication toward causes that he believed were in the best interest of all. In examining the legacy left behind by this pioneer of civil rights, Epstein and Schiechen's film...

...possible. Currently our two groups have various understandings of current policy and procedure. The operations group is responsible to manage the agents on the phones speaking to our customers, whereas the quality group is responsible to evaluate the calls made by those analysts to ensure they are adhering to policy and procedure. There is a lot of validity to this survey on an internal level. This survey will help both departments understand where they are missing the mark. The policies and procedures impact a variety of internal sectors, which in turn impacts the overall business. For example, at the collector level, the agent needs to understand how to do their current job functions. They should be taught those skills by their supervisor. If their supervisor does not have a clear understanding of the current policies in place, when the quality group listens to, and evaluates the calls made by the collector, the collector is apt to fail. On a wider spectrum, the managers dictate to the Quality Group what they want to hear in the phone calls made with customers. If the Quality Analyst hears something that is against policy or procedure they will notify the management team. Once the management team reviews the call they will determine whether or not the current policies in place are in line with the specific needs of the business. For example, a collector had failed to verify the customer’s insurance information on a call, after the management team reviewed the call they determined...

...very arrogant, racist, stubborn, but intimidated by intelligent outspoken people. He would say things to people that would irritate them and he would not care. I was a team lead with Humana, a position I held every since I started with them. When I met Craig we immediately did not hit it off. I knew my position inside out and I trained other customer service reps about Humana' s systems as well as how to be good customer service reps. Craig kind of thought I was a know it all and felt someway intimidated by me. I work with Craig for about 3 years during my tenure at ACS. During my 3 years there with him I applied for several managerial positions which I qualified for. He never hired me for any of them so I just stayed a team lead. One time he even hired a female that was 19 as a supervisor and this was her second job ever; her first was Hooters! To say that Craig lived in his own world is an understatement. Now to get to the dilemma, ACS is a company that the workers are predominately young black people. Most are fresh out of school or may have had trouble finding a good job. The overturn rate at ACS is very, very high. Well one morning there was a schedule meeting and...

...is struggling somewhere, somehow. It is important to have game plans and be able to adapt and overcome any situation that may directly affect you or your company personally or from other companies that affects yours from a distance. I am the owner of a retail dry goods store with a maximum of 100 employees. Most of our customers are employees from an automotive support industry who just announced they are relocating to Mexico. The relocation of this company will hinder our sales as well as our organization. My goal is to analyze the challenges our organization will face using OD principles and how would I apply OD principles in order to ensure the continued operation of my company. As our world changes amongst us, we have to evolve with it or we will find ourselves evaporating as a whole. That is where using the OD principles can help us to break down the problems that we are facing and help us to find either solutions or be on the road to finding solutions to make sure that we make it through these challenges. The first step of the principles suggests that changes to the organization and change relies on value based decisions. Using the value based decisions I would get together with the managers and supervisors of each department to gather their ideas and opinions. Getting everyone on the same page to understand what the actual story is and what is going on will help to eliminate any rumors that may lead to misunderstanding about where we as a company want to go with this...

... To: Supervisor From: Management Re: Cost of Quality Cost of Quality in Manufacturing I will explain in the following the three types of costs there are when making quality decisions in our manufacturing site in regards to the cost associated in making quality products. 1. Internal failure cost - This is the cost found on defects before it is delivered to the internal or external customer. 1.1. External failure cost – This is the cost associated for defects found after they are delivered to the internal or external customer. 2. Appraisal costs – This is the cost associated in maintaining a quality standard or program. 3. Prevention costs – This is the cost associated with keeping both appraisal cost and internal/external cost to the lowest level. A great example of internal/external cost would be the impact to our internal customer in dollar terms of the quality defect, I.E machine downtime because of a bad part damaging a machine. A great example of appraisal cost would be a inspection process we maintain to ensure quality product for our external customers and the cost of the people doing the inspection. A great example of prevention costs would be in the wages we pay to the engineering team for ensuring a quality designed product. Now I will evaluate the three types of cost considering the tradeoffs within our manufacturing plant. Internal failure cost is high for failures due to the disruption that occurs to our downstream customers. You...

...performance means “the accomplishment of a given task measure against preset known standards of accuracy, completeness, cost, and speed, but there are many types of performances. One of them is the performance at work which includes the goals that an employee must achieve inside the company in a specific time. For a good performance is very important that the employees understand which their functions or task are, the procedures that they have to follow, the policies that they must respect, the objectives that they have to achieve and how to treat the client. Therefore, customer service is one of the main pillars inside the company. According to Turban et al (2002), "Customer service is a series of activities designed to enhance the level of customer satisfaction – that is, the feeling that a product or service has met the customer expectation." So, for improving the customer service performance at the company is essential to provide employees the necessary tools to offer a good service and satisfy the customer´s needs. As a result, stronger customer service performance strengthens the relationship among the company and customers. Setting up performance goals for employees is a good beginning. According to Peter Ducker, goals have to be specific which means well-defined to inform employees what exactly is expected in order to achieve it; Measurable, regarding to provide steps to measure the progress and motivate employees toward achievement; Attainable, since the success needs to be achievable...
