Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

There are few jobs in Ireland today that demand as broad a range of skills and knowledge as supervisory management. Supervisors are often depicted as the link between management and workers, but are themselves both managers and workers. Furthermore, new legislation, new ways of managing and new technology have increased the demands made on supervisors. Therefore training and knowledge, more than ever before, are essential for success in the supervisory position.Designed for both practitioners and students, The Challenge of Supervisory Management is the result of extensive research carried out by the author on supervisory management in Ireland. It provides the theory and the knowledge that is required to be an effective supervisor, as well as practical tips on, among other things, communication skills, decision-making, time management, teamwork, leadership and making presentations.With a special emphasis on the rapidly changing role of supervisory management, this book is ideal for in-house company courses and will be invaluable for anyone working in a supervisory capacity.
