Who Makes a Good Supervisor?
One mark of a good supervisor is willingness to recognize,
confront and resolve staff performance problems. In fact, dealing with
performance problems is perhaps the most difficult and unpleasant task that
supervisors must perform. A person who would ignore or accept employee problems
is not ready for supervision.

Take the guess work out of promoting line staff to first line supervisors with a new video and written test by ERGOMETRICS.

This and other aspects of supervisory potential are covered in ERGOMETRICS' PROMOTE! Supervisory Test.
