A team leader/supervisor is a first line management role, with operational/project responsibilities or responsibility for managing a team to deliver a clearly defined outcome. They provide direction, instructions and guidance to ensure the achievement of set goals. Working in the private, public or third sector and in all sizes of organisation, specific responsibilities will vary, but the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed will be the same whatever the role.
Key responsibilities are likely to include supporting, managing and developing team members, managing projects, planning and monitoring workloads and resources, delivering operational plans, resolving problems, and building relationships internally and externally.
Leadership Principles
Much is written about leadership and most overcomplicates. A compelling leadership text only needs to be half a page and not a book!
First, Align
What you say and do. People notice everything and watch out for this.
Second, Keep Your Promises
Small or large. People expect this.
Third, Be Good to Be Around
When things go wrong. This is when you get truly measured.
Created and designed by listening to you, providing short high-impact, inspiring leadership, management and coaching learning zones.
All delivery modes have the values and goals at the heart of every session, and are aligned to the BSA strategy.
Fourth, Disagree. But Don’t Be Disagreeable
There’s a world of difference and this defines how safe people feel to speak up.
Fifth, Speak Well of People
In public and in private. There are no secrets that do not get shared.
Finally, Be Grateful
Say thank you. Recognise good work, excellent delivery, and great behaviours. It matters.
