Managing staff performance is one of the most important roles of supervisors in any organization. When we think of performance management, we tend to think of annual performance reviews or addressing significant personnel issues. When supervisors manage all performance, including excellent performance, with intentionality, there are fewer issues to address and conducting performance reviews isn't such a heavy lift.

Successful supervisors start with curiosity and awareness of their own supervisory and communication style, as well as their particular cultural lens. By expanding their view and skillfully shifting these default approaches, they can more fully develop staff and maximize performance.

Instead of avoiding conflict we have the ability to approach it as an opportunity for growth, change, and expansion.

Skilled, intentional, and strategic supervision is integral to organizational success and employee satisfaction. Effective supervisors, whether new to the role or coming with a wealth of experience, tap into self-awareness, are adaptive, and leverage a range of interpersonal skills. Using these practices, a supervisor creates a culture of mutual respect — one in which employees and supervisors communicate regularly and clearly about job-related expectations, tasks, and overall performance.
