Key Leadership Concepts
Ideas and thoughts adapted from my very old US Army leadership card:
SUPERVISION IS: The art of checking on the progress of actions and job assignments without harassment or taking on the job yourself.
LEADERSHIP IS: The art of influencing and directing personnel to obtain willing teamwork, confidence, respect and cooperation to accomplish the daily task assignment. Leadership is essential in developing a solid safety and health attitude among personnel
INDICATIONS OF LEADERSHIP:
- Morale – The morale of my area is high (How do I know?)
- “Esprit De Corps” – My personnel act as a Team (How do I know?)
- Discipline – My work areas and personnel clearly show quality and orderliness (How do I know?)
- Proficiency – My personnel know how to properly do their tasks (How do I know?)
