Four habits of strong supervisors
- Spend time on the floor. Listen to calls and be available, not stuck behind a desk.
- Coach more than you correct. Build skills instead of just pointing out mistakes.
- Treat numbers as clues, not verdicts. Ask what’s behind a number before acting on it.
- Protect your team. Push back on unrealistic targets and broken processes.
