Re: Job Description
lssrd7, congrats on the new position. I will tell you that in my first position supervising employees it was definitely a learning experience, sorta 'trial by fire'. You will not be able to please everyone and you sometimes will not get along with everyone. It is important to remember that you are there to do a job and to do it to the best of your ability. I found that being as honest as possible with my team and letting them know that I was there for them, to guide them and assist whenever needed, let them see that I wouldn't ask them to do something that I, myself wouldn't do. Even then....there will be someone that gets upset with you about a decision that you have made. It is difficult sometimes to balance the line of standing your ground but also being open to others ideas and suggestions. Obviously you have some qualities that your employer thinks will be an asset to your facility. Good luck!
