Book excerpt: The first-line supervisor is generally considered critical to good organizational functioning. The extant literature on first-line supervisors was reviewed to gain an understanding of the position and to make recommendations for improving supervisory effectiveness in the future. A review of the history of the position reveals a significant loss of autonomy as external influences have eroded the first-line supervisor's power. A list of activities currently found in the first-line supervisor position and a table of leader behaviors associated with subordinate performance and attitudes are presented, the difficulties of using participative leadership at the first-line supervisory level are examined, and the applicability of the general leadership literature to first-line supervision is discussed. Peer relationships were found to be important, but not engaged or facilitated in most organizations. Training programs for first-line supervisors are described and recommended program content presented. First-line supervisory role and status conflicts were found to create numerous problems for the supervisor. Future impacts on the first-line supervisor are predicted to be continued influence of staff specialists, the growth of participative management techniques, and greater impact of computer-driven automation and information management.

Book excerpt: Why should you want to read my book? I was a first-line manager of several businesses for over 40 years. There has been many changes in attitudes and business practices over these years. Therefore, I believe this saying is true "experience is the best teacher, it just costs too much." It is my wish that my experience and my stories will save you time and money. My life changed when I became a manager. I was sandwiched between managers making a career and employees making a living. First-line managers are the backbone of a business. These managers are usually the only ones who understand what it takes to make a product or provide a service. They are the ones on the shop floor or customer service office who keep the company in business day to day, hour to hour. If someone in middle or upper management is absent, no problem, the business will still function on the first line. However, when first-line managers are absent, some part of the plant or service process will suffer, and thus, the business. When the production line or the service line backs-up or slows down, the company expects the first-line manager to get it moving again. First-line managers stand in the gap between the business and the customer. They are the deal-makers in any business. Here are confidential comments on management surveys made by my team members. These are the blurbs that count most for the evaluation of my management style. Team member comments: Comments exactly as given on upward and 360 surveys.GREAT DECISION MAKER TAKES INITIATIVE PEOPLE ORIENTEDForward vision always learning Honest, good listener, provides employee empowerment Knowledgeable - Honest / Fair - DedicatedVery knowledgeable of companies business, has wise visions very courteousGood communicatorDependability Cares about Company and peopleJim handles a changing environment well. He tries to help with difficult situationsDedicated to what he is doing prompt in getting answers to problemsDedicated knowledge of APCo COMPANYHere is my last evaluation: As a manager/supervisor, you are especially good at... employee comments: Allowing us to manage ourselves as a group. He is our leader, but he does not dictate. If we come up with a solution to a problem that affects us as a group, he allows us to handle it as long as we as a group agree on it.He's an excellent leader.Empowerment and EncouragementListening to employees problems and working with us when we have personal needs> Following through with special request & projects. Jim is a wonderful supervisor whom I feel truly cares for his employees, as a co-worker & a person. He is someone I know I can count on.> ACTING IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER, ALWAYS MAKES DECISION THAT'S BEST FOR THE WHOLE WORK GROUP, AND ALWAYS WILLING TO GO THE EXTRA MILE TO GET THE JOB DONE. I CAN TRULY SAY, I FEEL BLESSED TO HAVE JIM AS MY SUPERVISOR. HE IS DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB. I AM VERY GLAD HE IS APART OF OUR WORK GROUP.

Download or read book The Bass Handbook of Leadership written by Bernard M. Bass and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 3273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thirty-three years and through three editions, Bass & Stogdill's Handbook of Leadership has been the indispensable bible for every serious student of leadership. Since the third edition came out in 1990, the field of leadership has expanded by an order of magnitude. This completely revised and updated fourth edition reflects the growth and changes in the study of leadership over the past seventeen years, with new chapters on transformational leadership, ethics, presidential leadership, and executive leadership. Throughout the Handbook, the contributions from cognitive social psychology and the social, political, communications, and administrative sciences have been expanded. As in the third edition, Bernard Bass begins with a consideration of the definitions and concepts used, and a brief review of some of the betterknown theories. Professor Bass then focuses on the personal traits, tendencies, attributes, and values of leaders and the knowledge, intellectual competence, and technical skills required for leadership. Next he looks at leaders' socioemotional talents and interpersonal competencies, and the differences in these characteristics in leaders who are imbued with ideologies, especially authoritarianism, Machiavellianism, and self-aggrandizement. A fuller examination of the values, needs, and satisfactions of leaders follows, and singled out for special attention are competitiveness and the preferences for taking risks. In his chapters on personal characteristics, Bass examines the esteem that others generally accord to leaders as a consequence of the leaders' personalities. The many theoretical and research developments about charisma over the past thirty years are crucial and are explored here in depth. Bass has continued to develop his theory of transformational leadership -- the paradigm of the last twenty years -- and he details how it makes possible the inclusion of a much wider range of phenomena than when theory and modeling are limited to reinforcement strategies. He also details the new incarnations of transformational leadership since the last edition. Bass has greatly expanded his consideration of women and racial minorities, both of whom are increasingly taking on leadership roles. A glossary is included to assist specialists in a particular academic discipline who may be unfamiliar with terms used in other fields. Business professors and students, executives in every industry, and politicians at all levels have relied for years on the time-honored guidance and insight afforded by the Handbook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training for frontline managers and supervisors is being ignored as a business improvement tactic at the worst possible time. As management jobs become increasingly complex, we continue to be inundated with the latest methods for improving job performance, along with less time to sort through all this information. Focused on interpersonal management skills, Leadership Basics for Frontline Managers: Tips for Raising Your Level of Effectiveness and Communication explains what it takes to improve how you communicate and relate to your employees, customers, and bosses. It presents 25 chapters grouped into four categories: Personal Effectiveness, Leadership, Communication, and Your Career. After reading this book, you will better understand: How to deal with information overload The best ways to manage during tough times How to handle difficult co-workers How to run more effective meetings The basics of giving and receiving feedback How to manage your career more effectively Each chapter dissects a different management skill and concludes with a list of bullet points to help you take action immediately. By illustrating key concepts with scenarios drawn from a range of work situations, this book is an ideal reference for: Anyone new to a management position Experienced managers who want to sharpen their leadership skills Managers who find themselves managing a diverse group of employees Because the chapters were written to stand on their own, this book supplies guidance you can easily read in short chunks, a few minutes at a time. While the book draws on contemporary management theory, the bulk of the writing stems from the author's real-world experience as a facilitator, trainer, writer, coach, and program designer in both the private and public sectors.
