ABSTRACT
What is the difference between leadership, management, and supervision? What is the expectation for supervisors in general?
Great supervisors can shift roles as the situation requires. They realize the needs of their team (cheerleader, prison guard, therapist, etc.) and supply it.
It is useful to give some thought as to your role. Ask your manager what he or she expects from you. You also might ask your direct reports about what they expect from you.
