Supervisory Management: The Art of Empowering and Developing People
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Supervisory Management blends skill-building techniques and traditional management principles to prepare readers to become supervisors in today's business world. This text emphasizes that supervision is working through people to develop and empower them to become better and more efficient in their roles. It closely follows the SCANS requirements for the five workplace competencies and three-part foundation of skills and personal qualities needed for job performance. In this fifth edition, the authors continue their "hands on" approach. In addition, to providing numerous self-checks and skill-building opportunities, even more "hands-on" exercises have been added throughout.
About the Author
At the present time, Donald C. Mosley is professor of management at the University of South Alabama and also the founder and president of the Synergistic Consulting Group. Don and the Synergistic Group have been pioneers in the area of partnering, having designed and developed the original "partnering model" in the first formalized partnering workshop in the public sector. This model has been adopted throughout the United States and used internationally as well. In the 1960s, as a young professor/consultant, Mosley developed his skills by being instrumental in helping a financially plagued chemical plant become the most profitable plant in the company's division within one year. During this period he was one of the first to utilize 360-degree evaluations by peers, work team members, and bosses as a basis for providing feedback and coaching for key managers.
