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

The supervisory skills framework is organized into three major sections:

1 Managing Self
2 Managing Others
3 Managing Systems

A good supervisor needs to have the ability to manage


his or her own work and communicate effectively -
managing Self. This forms an essential foundation
for other supervisory roles and responsibilities.
Managing
Self
Next, a good supervisor has strong people
Managing
skills - managing others. This ability to relate
Others
well to others and gain their respect, combined with
strengths in motivating, coaching and managing
employees are additional building blocks for
supervisory success.
Managing
Systems

With these skills in place, a good supervisor is ready to develop the


necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to effectively navigate and manage
organizational systems and enhance employee productivity and performance -
managing Systems. Supervisors also have a role to play in overseeing
legal requirements, health and safety policies, and quality and asset management 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.

Section 2 includes checklists that are designed to identify


supervisory strengths, as well as areas of development or skill gaps.

Within each of the 60 skill areas, a description of specific knowledge,


skills and abilities (KSAs) has been provided, identifying attributes that
a supervisor needs to work efficiently and effectively. Provided in a
checklist format, every KSA can be rated Can Do, Can’t Do or Not Sure.

This section is a useful tool for managers assessing potential


supervisors or evaluating the capacity of supervisors who are already
in place. This tool is also helpful for individuals interested in evaluating
their own readiness for supervisory responsibilities, preparing for a
promotion or interested in further developing their supervisory skills.

Once skill gaps are identified through these checklists (i.e., “Can’t Do”
or “Not Sure”), turn to Section 3 to find relevant training options.

The Asia Pacific Gateway Skills Table wishes to


acknowledge the funding support from the Sector
Council Program, Human Resources and Skills
Development Canada and the Asia-Pacific Gateway
and Corridor Initiative led by Transport Canada.

In addition to courses and programs, there are many ways to learn and grow. Much
supervisory training and development in the Gateway sectors is conducted on the
job, through informal demonstrations, role modeling, and discussions, and more
formal in-house orientation and training.

For additional tools and resources to support these other supervisory training and
development activities, please visit www.hrwire.ca.

including regulation, wage and training
