Supervisor, foreman, foreperson, boss, overseer, cell coach, facilitator, monitor, or area coordinator is the job title of a low level management position that is primarily based on authority over a worker or charge of a workplace. The term itself can be used to refer to any personnel who have this task as part of their job description.
An employee is a supervisor if he has the power and authority to do the following actions (according to the Ontario Ministry of Labour):
Give instructions and/or orders to subordinates.
Be held responsible for the work and actions of other employees.
If an employee cannot do the above, legally, he or she is probably not a supervisor, but in some other category, such as lead hand.
A supervisor is first and foremost an overseer whose main responsibility is to ensure that a group of subordinates get out the assigned amount of production, when they are supposed to do it and within acceptable levels of quality, costs and safety.
A supervisor is responsible for the productivity and actions of a small group of employees. The supervisor has several manager-like roles, responsibilities, and powers. Two of the key differences between a supervisor and a manager are (1) the supervisor does not typically have "hire and fire" authority, and (2) the supervisor does not have budget authority.
The SupervisorGuardian is one of the 16 role variants of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, a self-assessed personality questionnaire designed to help people better understand themselves. David Keirsey originally described the Supervisor role variant; however, a brief summary of the personality types described by Isabel Myers contributed to its development. Supervisors correlate with the ESTJMyers-Briggs type.
Overview
Supervisor Guardians are civic-minded individuals who dedicate themselves to maintaining the institutions behind a smooth-running society. They often rise to positions of leadership in service organizations and in their careers, defending the values of the groups to which they belong. Supervisors are strong believers in rules and procedures, and they prefer tried methods to experimental ones.
With their outgoing nature, Supervisors are quick to communicate their opinions and expectations to others. They are hard-working, and they take their obligations seriously. Faithful friends and loyal spouses, Supervisors are adroit in social situations. They enjoy rituals such as weddings and holiday observances. While they may seem somewhat formal, they are frank and forthright, showing themselves for what they are.
I could run away and hide I could writhe with pain And I'll sense you're still on my side And I know I could never love you I am the eclipse which covers up your sun I have authority over you which overwhelms I am your supervisor No second without your torture It makes me dead keen on Full of malicious energy Pleading and prayer won't help Instructedd to devastate a soul For a prolonged period It depressed me a necessary evil Obsessed by the lack of clarity Am I the source of error? That's my own fault
