PWX draws thousands of public works professionals from all over the world…
Alongside the age-old debate of the difference between leadership and management is yet a third category of skills required of leaders that are distinctly different from leadership or management. Almost every leader, at every level, performs at least some form of direct supervision. Having addressed leadership behaviors in 2021's PWX presentation on Learning Leadership and Management Skills and in 2022's PWX presentation on Mastering Management, the APWA Leadership and Management Committee now aims to define what supervision is and how one does it. Just like leadership and management, supervision skills can be learned and practiced to improve.
APWA's supervision framework defines those behaviors into five functions, and this session will dive into what those are and how to implement them into your own experience.
