Our purview is that regardless of how high you get in an organization, you always will
have three responsibilities and that is of leadership, management and supervision. Unfortunately
sometimes we get higher in the organization but forget that we are actually still supposed
to supervise. Now, the percentage that we are actually supervise may decrease and other
ward I maybe the chief, but I still have to supervise my next staff level. I may still
have to supervise division heads to make sure that we are stand on the same page and that
we are doing the things consistently that we have declared we are going to do as an
organization and so sometimes what happens is we forget about that particular piece of
it and leadership is a process by which an individual influences others to willingly
act to achieve either personal, organizational, or team goals and that is about leadership,
the job is to influence others to willingly act. Now management as a process by where
we actually kind of take care and monitor resources including human resources but primarily
focused on the resources to achieve the organizations goals and supervision; however, is the aspect
of holding ourselves and others accountable to some consistent standards.
Now our job from a supervisory standpoint is making sure that we were on the same page
with those standards and expectations what they are, what they are supposed to be from
all the way as high as we can go in the organization to as "low" as we can go in the organization
but the key issue is that we are clear on the standards and expectations and that is
a supervisory function and are we actually holding true to those. So, for example as
a leader, I may bringing everybody together and say lets talk about our vision and our
mission and let's put these things together and let's get on the same page with where
we are going. So, we do that and now we have a clear vision and goals and then what must
happen from a management standpoint is we have to actually say what kind of standards
we have to put and place, what kinds of things that we actually have to have in placed, to
make sure that we can meet that vision. So, from a management perspective, it is about
the things and also the clear standards and expectations that we are delivering to virtually
everybody and that is even people within our organization and the people who interact with
our organization. Then as a supervisor or from a supervisory perspective, my job is
to make sure that one everyone is clear on the standards, why because we are all on the
same page with them. Two, understanding the real value and importance of those standards
in us achieving our goal or our vision that we have set out, which again my task is to
make that very clear and on a day-to-day basis, if I am not supervising or leading or managing
to and through those very clear expectations from top to bottom but I am probably not doing
my job.
