Staying Connected Matters

10/15/2015

As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being redirected to something better.
Steve Maraboli, speaker and author

In her publication, Being a Supervisor, Gigi Schweikert, makes this case for staying connected with employees:

"Most of us in early childhood education don't work for a large amount of money. That's no surprise. So why do we show up every day? The children are one reason, of course, and another is that the people like the sense of belonging that comes from working with a group, and satisfaction of a job well done. That's where you, as a supervisor, come in. Staying connected to your staff and cultivating that feeling of belonging is part of your job. You can be the type of supervisor who knows her employees, takes an interest in their ideas, and recognizes their efforts — efforts of success or efforts of just giving it a try. Or you can be the type of supervisor who hides out in her office 'working,' rushes through as she travels from meeting to meeting, or even sees herself as a bit above the rest of the crew with a 'no time to get my hands dirty' attitude. Which type of supervisor would you want to work for?
