Supervision
Are you a good and effective supervisor?
Supervisors are charged to lead and develop their subordinates. They detect and correct their Airman’s conduct and behavior that is incompatible with the good order and discipline of their unit and the Air Force.
However, they must first set the example by clearly meeting and
striving to exceed the standards and expectations they set for their subordinates. Supervisors demonstrate effective followership by openly supporting their leader’s decisions.
They are always working toward professional development, which also includes off-duty education. Supervisors only recognize and reward those who actually warrant it and are visibly seen in the dining facilities and dormitories. To be considered a good and effective supervisor, you must walk to walk, and you must be involved.
