Do you have a clear understanding as to why you are working at your current place of employment? Do you like your manager or supervisor? If you're a manager or supervisor, does your team like you? Supervision Matters: 100 Bite-Sized Ideas to Transform You and Your Team by Rita Sever provides some useful nuggets and the steps necessary on how to effectively supervise your team to reach your company's goals. Every day the work that you do moves the company closer to its stated mission and vision. Our interaction and communication language is what determines our level of success or the lack thereof. In this book, the Coaching Corner, Intentional Conversation Samples and Rita’s Rules of Engagement are designed to help you attend to the needs of the problem and not to focus on the cause of the emotions.
I enjoyed the simple, practical ways that Rita Sever guided me as if she was my personal coach sitting right next to me. As I read through each chapter, I gained the knowledge necessary on supervisory tactics. With Rita Sever including the Coaching Corner in this book, it just put the icing on the cake because it makes you pause, reflect and see the person in the mirror. Through these exercises, you will see how you think, act, speak and respond when encountering a dialogue, requiring results, enforcing leadership or working within your organization. In today's workplace there is a lot to contend with, from direct and indirect discrimination of any type to three generations working together in an attempt to communicate. As an added bonus for those looking to greatly improve how they supervise, Rita’s Rules of Engagement implements the 'to be, hear, see, play and share' elements that create the needed and required transformation for a new you.

As a small business owner it is really important to keep our team strong. One weak link really disrupts the flow for everyone. This book gave me some great tips on communicating with my team in a pro-active way, and it also helped me set clear boundaries. Everything I read could actually be applied to all the relationships in my life not just work. Great read.

Rita Sever's "Supervision Matters" is a handbook of tips and advice on how office supervisors can improve and transform their staffs. A long-time supervisor herself, Sever compartmentalizes a hundred basic ideas for improving communications and staff performance, and she uses clear, concise language to demonstrate how to simplify procedures, streamline instructions, and provide opportunities for feedback from employees. She starts explaining many of her one hundred ideas with a real-life situation outside the office - a humorous exchange with her grandchild, a hike through the woods - and applies the lessons from these experiences to similar situations in the workplace. The analogies are effective and persuasive in helping the readers understand how Sever's ideas work.
Sever follows each idea with bullet-point advice and a "Coaching Corner," in which she asks the readers how they handle supervisory matters and whether they could have better handled issues in the past - and how they can improve. "Supervision Matters" is full of invaluable advice, and it is a very comprehensive handbook for the workplace. Supervisors shouldn't simply read this book once; they should keep it at arm's length and continue to refer to it to continuously improve their own and their departments' performance.
