Section 1 provides an overview of the foundational skills required by supervisors. This overview is
presented through a supervisory skills framework.

3 Managing Systems
These three interlocking pieces work together to ensure that supervisors have the tool box to maximize resources
and lead their teams to be safe, productive, and efficient.
The three sections - managing Self, managing others, managing Systems - are divided into nine
sub-sections, which are then further divided into 60 specific skill areas:
Turn to page 8 and 9 to see a graphical representation of the supervisor skills framework that includes an outline of
the 60 specific skill areas.
