What do we expect from our supervisors in hospitality?

"We expect them to educate employees to become fully capable contributors and to create outstanding guest experiences thus contributing to an increase in revenues and profits. We expect our supervisors to be accountable leaders. In sum, teaching is all about leadership. And leadership is all about teaching. The two are almost synonymous."

Power in the Workplace: Understanding the Issues and Ourselves
We're all leaders in different ways: a manager, a team leader, a supervisor or a unit chief. Maybe you're a CEO, GM or VP. At home, you might be a grandparent or parent. In the community, you might be a youth leader, a coach, a council member or a task-force chair.

There are many sources of power: title, position, experience, expertise, skill, seniority, charisma, culture, tradition, class, ownership, wealth, connections, and so on. They all wield power. But what kind of power?

This is a great topic for discussion with your supervisors and managers, and workplace guide Tom Terez has a great discussion download available. Full of examples, and there will be plenty more your team members can bring to the table.
