Being a Supervisor 1.0

Being a Supervisor 1.0 is not only an invaluable primer for any employee or first-time supervisor aspiring to be an outstanding manager of people, but it is an excellent reference for seasoned and experienced supervisors and managers as a refresher course as well. It is a compact, comprehensive, grassroots manual on the correct way to manage people, projects, and progress, and I highly recommend it to all in pursuit of supervisory excellence.

Supervision is both an art and a science. It can be learned but must be practiced to be fully mastered. Good supervision skills are especially important for the civil society/nonprofit sector which relies greatly on influence and collaboration. They are essential too for the government and business sectors. In “Being a Supervisor 1.0” Joe Duffy sets out easy to understand foundational management knowledge that every supervisor needs. These practical lessons, learned from a long career and leadership, are timely for the 21st century manager in any and all sectors.

Strong organizations all have one thing in common: skilled, effective supervisors, passionate about mission. Joe Duffy has delivered a terrific toolbox for new or aspiring supervisors, as well as more seasoned leaders keen to learn from another’s experience. Joe's half a century of education and experience percolate throughout this excellent and informative handbook.
