How Supervisors Can Cause Employees to Lose Cooperation and Dedication to Their Jobs
Supervisors often find it hard to work with people and it's not always the fault of the employee. One of the reasons why this happens is because it's difficult to get people to be cooperative and dedicated to their job. Once employees lose interest and commitment to their jobs, it's usually hard to get them to find their motivation and passion. This can be the fault and/or choice of the team members. However, sometimes it's the supervisor's fault for the following reasons:
Unwilling to be the leader or boss
New managers and supervisors are usually not comfortable with telling people what to do because they were just “one of them”.
Unwilling to split up work
Supervisors who deal with the responsibilities they used to do often decide to continue doing the work themselves instead of delegating it and teaching others.
Not able to teach and train new workers
Whether they're new or experienced, many supervisors can't instruct or manage people who have never had a steady job before. People like this need time to adjust to an organized job with rules and discipline.
Getting over the lack of knowledge with the job
Supervisors may assign a job to the wrong person because they don't have any background or knowledge about it. This causes the workers to question the manager's judgment.
Handling work habits from different businesses
People who have worked for a different company think that everything is the same everywhere. However, when they start working for a new company, they have to adapt and learn all the new regulations. Supervisors may not know about this and may not know how to help workers adapt.
How to overcome these issues? To prevent, reduce and avoid these problems, supervisors must learn to lead people. This also means working with and through people. Training Within Industry (TWI) Training Solutions teaches managers and supervisors how to lead and train their employees. The purpose of the TWI Job Relations program is to prevent and solve these very problems.
