Food for Thought
“A manager [supervisor (added)] has got to remember that he is on stage every day. His people are watching him. Everything he does, says, the way he says it, sends off clues to his employees. These clues affect performance.”
(Manager quoted in First Break All the Rules: What the World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently, Simon & Schuster, 1999)
![Page 10: How to train ur supervisor](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/545caa7aaf7959af098b492f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Performance
What are the key components of a person’s performance?
Performance = Ability + Support + Motivation
![Page 11: How to train ur supervisor](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/545caa7aaf7959af098b492f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How to Approach Developing a Supervisor
I. Ensure employee learns the basic technical aspects of the job
II. Set expectations - plan together by writing down steps leading to a supervisory role/teach HR role
III. Follow through and always model the expected behavior

Step I. Learning the Job Basics
Assume this is an auditor position; the auditor must be able to (among other things):
Research
Interview
Prepare working papers
Understand auditing standards
![Page 13: How to train ur supervisor](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/545caa7aaf7959af098b492f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

There are two main roles for which staff must be trained:
1. Technical
2. Human relations
![Page 14: How to train ur supervisor](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/545caa7aaf7959af098b492f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

C. Deci (1970’s)
A. Hierarchy of needs – satisfy one and move up (5 needs)
B. Motivators and hygiene (maintenance) factors
C. Intrinsic motivation
![Page 35: How to train ur supervisor](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/545caa7aaf7959af098b492f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Intrinsic Motivation
Stems from the innate sense of accomplishment and enjoyment one gets from doing good work
We do something because it is worth doing
Performing the work makes us feel good about ourselves; we feel competent and in control
![Page 36: How to train ur supervisor](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/545caa7aaf7959af098b492f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Question is NOT how to motivate others, but…
…how can leaders create conditions under which others will motivate themselves.

Perspectives on One Generation Motivating Another
Matures
Baby Boomers
Gen Xer’s
New Millennials
Born before 1945
Born 1945 -1964
Born 1965 – 1979
Born 1980 +

New Values in the Workplace -A Retention Issue
“Gen Xers and New Millennials have essentially said to their managers – the Matures and especially the Boomers – ‘We don’t share your definition of success. We define success differently and will pursue other rewards for our work.’”
Motivating the “What’s In It For Me?”
Workforce, Cam Marston, 2005
![Page 39: How to train ur supervisor](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/545caa7aaf7959af098b492f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
How Different Are They?
For them…
Jay Leno has ALWAYS been host of The Tonight Show (Johnny Carson WHO?)
TV without “cable” is inconprehensible
The Cold War is just in history books
Going to the moon is old science
![Page 40: How to train ur supervisor](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/545caa7aaf7959af098b492f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
It’s not about the workday…
…it’s about the end result.
Younger workers look at what they accomplished, not how many hours they worked in a day
Up and coming supervisors have different values/expectations; their supervisees also different
![Page 41: How to train ur supervisor](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/545caa7aaf7959af098b492f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Conclusions
The supervisory role is complex and challenging
3 steps to developing new supervisors:– train (technical & HR)– set expectations for changing role– model behavior (e.g., conflict management)
Understand the new workforce in order to motivate and retain
