Supervisors form an important part of organizations since they are tasked with overseeing and guiding junior staff to achieve set objectives. Therefore, an effective supervisor should be able to demonstrate leadership skills by bringing employees together to work as a team. This enables individuals to learn and work in an optimal environment that supports and cares for their needs in the workplace. In my case, my supervisor possesses time management skills, delegates appropriately, and communicates efficiently.
The management of time in the workplace is critical in handling operations since employees are human beings who have physical limitations. Therefore, my supervisor ensures that shifts are structured efficiently to provide adequate time for individuals to rest. More so, we are given the opportunity to change shifts and ask for permission whenever any unforeseen events occur. Apart from that, the delegation of activities is based on the supervisor’s knowledge on individual capacities and competencies. This ensures that people are paired in a manner that they can learn from each other and support overall organizational growth. For instance, I have had an opportunity to learn new things on the use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems through my supervisor. Lastly, communication is an important factor that helps my relationship with the supervisor by allowing significant interactions. This provides the opportunity to get advice and encouragement to go back to school and complete my studies.
Consequently, the relationship with my supervisor has grown to be an important aspect of my internship through the guidance provided. Working in such an environment continuously encourages me to continue with the path of creating a meaningful career in healthcare and motivates me to push forward each day. Their constant presence and leadership make the work environment an oasis of fulfillment and a pride of being part of such a team.
