As a quiet, shy and reserved person the work field with my current experience have shown me that the very principles of being a future supervisor may have a small challenge due to my personal comfort zone limits. Even though I still strive for future success and possibly a supervisor position at some point in my current career I will have to overcome this fear and face the challenges and duties that come with this position. At some point in time I plan to accept this challenge and gain skills as well as experience from my previous employers to have the principles of supervision to be used at the correct moment. I hope my current education and learning experience at these places will give me the skills and value to be the supervisor or manager …show more content…

However, in reflection of my past teamwork experiences in class, I am often one of the organizers and stronger voices, connecting me with being a natural leader. In reflection of past job experience, I found it related to a low tolerance for incompetency and also being a natural leader, but did not demonstrate being a visionary or argumentative. My past job experience includes refereeing youth soccer matches and serving at Anthony’s Beach Café. My experience refereeing youth soccer matches forced me to become a leader, taking control of parents and the players, allowing me to mature well being in a position of authority.

According to him, there are two skills necessary for supervision, one is leadership skills and other is managerial skills.

As a supervisor you have the responsibility of playing many different roles both to the employees that you supervise as well as to the management that is above you. The management that is above you wants to see that your performance is a positive one. In order to do that you need to have a good understanding of the employees that you are supervising and have the skills that are needed to be a great supervisor. Workers come from all generations and have many different personality traits as to how they work best and there are many different ways in which one can supervise others. In order to be the best supervisor that you can be you need to know what supervising style you should use with the different employees that you have.
This beleieve was encouraged by my success in being a team leader during my management project course for school, and the reasurance from my friends and family that I had the characteristics of what its takes to become leader, and I was ‘born’ for the position. With this in mind, I applied for a leadership position within the student organization, ESN, as a VicePresident. After four months of holding this postion, I realized that I need to improve my leadership skills; leading a team of 12 memebers of different divisions and objectives is different from leading one of 5 members ( like I did in my management project course). I realized that being a leader takes more than being ‘born’ for it. It requires practice, patience, and many other attributes that I am not yet competent in. Though I have attributes ( adaptability, convincing, etc. ) that are important in a leadership position, to become a succesful leader I need to further develop my other talents. I hope that with this new found awareness, that I will be able to develop my leadership skills next semester through watching management classes online and reading articles that gives advince on how to increase leadership
In February 2014, I worked at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival as a guest support. One of the things I liked the most were my managers. They were people with higher education and many years of experience as their background, but they were also people that cared a lot about their staff and the students. They assured that everyone knew their responsibilities, what to do if something went wrong and how to be safe. Moreover, the managers had the opportunity to work with so many different students from different cultures, and they were able to accommodate themselves to the students’ values. My experience at the festival was very positive, and I liked the way my superiors did not look like bosses just ordering around, but they looked like leaders guiding and caring about their personnel. Therefore, the skills and knowledge I have acquired at my job and volunteering experiences have helped me to be more aware of what to do and not to do when leading others. When I become a manager, I want to be the kind of leader that knows how to do things flawlessly so that I can show and teach others how to do a good job while nurturing the employees with positive and constructive criticism. In my values, I consider myself a huge believer in furthering one’s education. I consider that the more experience and knowledge I gain the better I become because I have developed a heightened value of what I have been
