Supervisor Success Model

Retaining qualified workers is a key way to counteract the worker shortage. They already know the company and the products. They are loyal and want themselves and the company to succeed.

A Gallup poll of more than 1 million employed U.S. workers concluded that the No. 1 reason people quit their jobs is a bad boss or immediate supervisor. 75% of workers who voluntarily left their jobs did so because of their bosses and not the position itself. Dec 27, 2017

It is critical to help Supervisors and Leads build their skills and develop into leaders for the long term.

To do this effectively, companies need to incorporate these six items:

LEARNING

  • We use Adult Learning Principles and consistently apply what is learned on the job.

COACHING ENVIRONMENT

  • Company leaders coach the Supervisors and Leads to incorporate the skills they learn into their day-to-day leadership activities.

SPONSOR

  • A champion within the company assures the positive results hold for the long term.

METRICS

  • What is expected of the Supervisors and Leads is clarified. What they are measured on needs to match what they are expected to do.

SUCCESSION

  • Supervisors, in turn, develop others and continue to develop themselves,

OPERATIONALIZE THE PROCESS

  • We document and reinforce the successful process to sustain it over time.
