Business Etiquette for Supervisors

Some supervisors seem to be able to energize their employees to give their best efforts. Other supervisors have to engage in a battle of wills to accomplish the simplest tasks. What's the difference? According to a 19th-century management thinker, a supervisor: "has the power to make employees happy or unhappy; and to make their jobs a pleasure or a burden. A supervisor's power lies in words and looks, things so intangible they are impossible to measure." In other words, supervisors increase their own effectiveness as well as the effectiveness of their subordinates simply by the way they conduct everyday tasks. In short, they do it by applying simple etiquette. In this course, the learner will explore the special etiquette of being a supervisor, the etiquette of one-on-one interactions with subordinates, the etiquette of listening as a supervisory tool, and the supervisor's role in sharing information between his subordinates and the rest of the company.
