...Since graduation I have been “lucky” to work with two supervisors who are both brilliant professionals and great people. Although their style of work has many similarities it also has differences and on reflection these differences made me think how important is the supervisory relationship itself. Maybe most than anything else? As I am beginning this essay, for first time I really tried to imagine my own supervision style and the nature of my relationships with various supervisees. How I talk, how I sit, what interventions I bring, who would be my supervisees...the list is endless. I can't predict the future but certainly I would like to fill my supervision tool box with material from other supervisors enriched by my own learning and experiences....

...supervisor? This study will delve into these questions as well as several different supervisory concepts and leadership theories. Lastly, through my own experience of working for several different supervisors over my 18+ year career as well as being one myself for the past nine years, I will highlight what has been most impressionable on me during my career while being exposed to both an effective supervisor and leader and what I feel has not worked. I will also discuss what has worked in supervising and leading my own subordinates in an inspirational and productive manner to get my employees to work to their highest potential possible. Types of Supervisors First we must define what a supervisor is relative to the world of policing. According to Iannone (2013), supervisors take their direction from above and make sure the goals of the organization are met through their direct control and direction of the subordinates under their command. In other words, supervisors deliver the departments’ mission to the masses (patrol officers) and ensure that the employees understand and complete the job according to the directions set forth. Police supervisors act as the job foreman in the law enforcement profession and the way we know that a supervisor is effective is to gauge the overall effectiveness of their subordinates (Engel, 2001). Historically there has been much research regarding supervisory styles in the private sector of the labor force in order to determine how...

...Schools, Teaching, and Supervision EDA 551 Jack West March 21, 2012 Before I am able to decide on a supervisory platform, I must first look at my personal educational platform. Glickman states, “After all, supervision is in many ways analogous to teaching. Teachers wish to improve students’ behavior, achievement and attitudes. Supervisors similarly wish to improve teachers’ behavior, achievement and attitudes.”(Glickman p. 95) Simply put, as a supervisor, I will be doing the same as I did as an educator. I will be helping others learn. As a teacher, my philosophy has always centered on the idea that all students have their own unique needs that must be unleashed in order for them to achieve success. I feel the same can be said for teachers. Each teacher has their own style of absorbing new strategies, and teaching their students. As a supervisor, it is my responsibility to understand these diversities, and work within their unique needs to see that each teacher succeeds. I must help each teacher use their strengths to reach their students in a way that in turn helps the students succeed. That is my definition of instructional supervision. Helping teachers use their personal strengths, which then in turn help their students succeed. As stated by Wright, Horn, and Sanders (1997) more can be done to improve education by improving the effectiveness of teachers than by any other single factor (p. 63). Who Should Supervise? Who Should Be Supervised? A supervisor...

...First-line supervisory training is a very important one, as often they are put or promoted into these positions without being fully or even partially trained as to what their duties involve. They are responsible for ‘getting the job done’, by instructing and leading those they manage “maintaining the standards of the department, and creating and maintaining cooperation with employees” (Hamann, n.d, para.1). A supervisor of this type also has to know how to deal with conflict management. They also have the responsibility of “ensuring compliance with policies and procedures, initiating appropriate discipline when necessary, mentoring officers under their command, and serving as the communication link between management and line officers” (IACP,...

...Leadership is the driving force that holds these elements together, aligning them, and enabling the agency to function as an integrated system. Up until now, dialogue of leadership in general focuses on a leader’s role in ongoing processes of an agency. An ever more vital role for a leader in an organization is that of a change. We will now confer the particulars of transformation of leadership, with particular importance of organizational change and creating a culture of high-performance managers. Necessities and strains for organizational change are derived from what originates from the agency’s environment, staff, clients, and often from its own leaders, are so widespread as to be considered a constant of human service administration. Influences within the organization such as low morale, fatigue, inadequate management skills, and high turnover can also present change opportunities. Program redesign, agency reorganization, developing program evaluation systems, enhancing diversity, and altering an outdated or dysfunctional organizational ethos can all be done more successfully using planned change processes.

Bank Supervision and Corporate Finance Thorsten Beck, Asli Demirgüç-Kunt, and Ross Levine NBER Working Paper No. 9620 April 2003 JEL No. G3, L51, O16, G21 ABSTRACT We examine the impact of bank supervision on the financing obstacles faced by almost 5,000 corporations across 49 countries. We find that firms in countries with strong official supervisory agencies that directly monitor banks tend to face greater financing obstacles. Moreover, powerful official supervision tends to increase firm reliance on special connections and corruption in raising external finance, which is consistent with political/regulatory capture theories. Creating a supervisory agency that is independent of the government and banks mitigates the adverse consequences of powerful supervision. Finally, we find that bank supervisory agencies that force accurate information disclosure by banks...

...Studies in Business and Economics THE INFLUENCE OF SUPERVISORY AND PEER SUPPORT ON THE TRANSFER OF TRAINING NG KUEH Hua University Malaysia Sarawak, Malaysia Abstract: The burgeoning literature investigating the effect of supervisory support on the transfer of training is characterized by inconsistent findings. Also, to date, research examining peer support is still lacking, despite earlier studies show support emanating from co-workers has a significant influence on the transfer of training. Hence, this study attempts to rectify the inadequacies in the literature by examining the effects of supervisory and peer support on the transfer of training. Based on a cross-sectional method, quantitative data was collected from 100 employees working in one of the Malaysian state health departments, with a response rate of 48 percent. The results of multiple regression analysis revealed that supervisory support was not significantly associated with transfer of training, whereas peer support exerted a significant and positive influence on transfer of training. This study responded to the pressing calls for more studies to elucidate the relationship between social support and the transfer of training. The findings contributed to the body of literature by clarifying the nature of relationships between supervisory support, peer support and transfer of training, particularly from the Malaysian workplace perspective. Key words: Supervisory support, peer support, transfer of training ...

Everybody will agree on the fact that being so successful is not only about having a good soccer team. Recently, the Ajax supporters, and of course the rest of the soccer world, were surprised by Johan Cruijff. The supervisory board was in conflict with Johan Cruijff, and this situation was even brought to court since Ajax is not only a football club. Eventually, this led to the resign of the entire board of directors. How is it possible, that such a successful organization as Ajax experiences structural problems? problem definiton What structural problems within Ajax resulted in the Supervisory Board resignation?

The Supervisory is made up of 6 shareholders and 6 employee members; the board also has two female members five of the members have international experience.

Adi Dassler’s idea was carried out, but as the years have come and competition. The company has shifted in a more paternalistic style of leading as opposed to the participative outlook that Dassler had. When looking for a company to work for an appealing aspect of the company that an employee seeks is that of company morale. How the company treats their employees and how do they treat everyone as a whole throughout. Also, an important driver is how the company handles situations in which they may be scrutinized and criticized. There is a dual board system where there is a Supervisory board and an Executive board. Both of these boards work independently. The Executive Board is in charge of managing the company “developing the Group’s strategic orientation” the Supervisory Board is in charge of making this happen.
