Help Adults Succeed

In Being a Supervisor, Gigi Schweikert offers these tips on helping adults you supervise succeed...

Learn to:

• Realize that adults, like children, innately want to succeed
• Question whether your expectations are realistic and your communication is effective
• Understand that what you say is not always what people hear
• Communicate your expectations in a clear, specific manner

Stay Positive! Avoid:

• Assuming people know what to do and how to do it
• Thinking that people will do things the same way you do
• Getting frustrated when adults don't "get it" the first time
• Expecting people to embrace and be excited about change
