In Reply to: What traits do successful supervisors have? - Please describe the perfect supervisor
1. Return emails in a timely fashion, same day. If you don't have a definitive answer for me on something, write me back anyway to let me know you are working on it. This way I won't continue to bug you, not knowing if you've received it/read it/deleted it/forgotten about it.
2. Don't continually tell your team how busy YOU are. We all have our jobs and we all have to get a lot done. When you tell me how overrun you are every day, I don't have faith that you can get ANYTHING done, and being busy' starts to become a whiny excuse.
3. Make yourself accessible. Don't tell me your phone extension and then always have it turned to the dead-end voice mail.
4. Don't tell me about your fabulous vacation unless I ask you about it. Company email is not the place to announce to the whole team your fantastic time off. Come back to work ready to work.
5. Keep it professional. Workers slack when supervisors attempt to be chummy. You will get taken advantage of if your team thinks you are buddies.
I could go on and on, but that's a good general start.
