As a new supervisor, there are common pitfalls that, if avoided, can promote a smoother transition and a healthy working environment. Here are four tips to ensure you successfully navigate this unfamiliar terrain while avoiding mistakes that can stymie team productivity and cohesiveness.
1. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Ask the team for input on how to improve processes and the overall team dynamic. Then, make changes incrementally. This allows everyone time to adapt to the new way and to work out any kinks that may arise. Solicit feedback, be inclusive and take things one step at a time.
2. Be an even-handed leader.
New supervisors often must shift from being a team member to a leader. It’s important that the supervisor leave personal feelings at home and wear the manager hat at work. Everyone should be treated equitably, meaning that all team members are getting the same opportunities and developmental feedback.
3. Delegate.
Supervisors should get to know each of their direct reports and find out exactly what they do in their roles and how they do it best. Then delegate tasks accordingly. The better the supervisor knows the team and their individual strengths; the more trust can be placed on team members to execute the task at hand.
4. Prevent the micromanagement trap.
New supervisors can feel obligated to micromanage their team’s work. The micromanager likely just wants to establish control over the process to help ensure the quality of the final product. Instead, a strong supervisor not only delegates tasks but delegates authority, which instills respect and trust that the team is capable of completing the job. Constant interruptions are a product of micromanagement, which can lead to lowered overall productivity and morale.
