Increasingly, companies are being restructured and downsized to cut costs. This usually means that supervisors are taking on responsibilities in which they have little or no experience.

The most important thing I have learned is to listen to the people that have been doing the work that I am now supervising. As long as I listen to their concerns, act upon their ideas, and utilize their strengths, they invariably pull together as a team to accomplish the goals that face us.
