Making an Argument 18

What are some important qualities of a good supervisor (boss)? Use specific details and examples to explain why these qualities are important.

Even though job situations can be very different, there are several qualities that all good supervisors have in common. A good supervisor treat her employees fairly. She gives clear directions. Most important of all, she acts as a good example for her employees.
A good supervisor is fair. She treats all her employees with equal respect and doesn’t have favorites. She uses the same set of criteria to evaluate each employee’s performance. She doesn’t let her personal feelings about an individual influence her treatment of him.
A good supervisor gives clear and understandable directions. She doesn’t constantly change her mind about what she wants employees to do. She also doesn’t get angry when an employee is confused and needs more explanation.
Finally, a good supervisor sets the standards for her employees by her own behavior. She works hard and acts responsibly and gets her work done on time. She can only expect her employees to act professionally if she acts professionally, too.
Employees are more likely to do the best job they can when they are treated fairly, given good directions, and have a good example in front of them. This is why good supervisors are so important to the success of any type of business.
