OBJECTIVES
By the end of this lesson the cadet shall be expected to supervise cadets.
IMPORTANCE
It is important for cadets to understand the purpose of supervision and how to supervise because effective supervision is a fundamental element of becoming a leader. Proficiency Level Three cadets will be expected to supervise their teams while conducting leadership assignments.
Explain the Purposes of Supervision
There are three main purposes of supervision.
To Provide Protection. Supervision ensures the safety and well-being of personnel.
To Provide Support. Supervision ensures that all members of the team are assisted, provided for and encouraged during tasks. If cadets are not practicing interpersonal management, interpersonal management, teamwork and effective communication, the supervisor must act on the situation.
To Provide Quality Assurance. Supervision ensures the outcomes of a task meet expectations for that task. If cadets are not meeting their responsibilities in completing the task, the supervisor must act on the situation.
HOW TO SUPERVISE
As team leaders, cadets will be expected to supervise others. Supervision takes place during the entire task, not just at the beginning or end of the task. Although each situation where supervision takes place is unique, there are some basic responsibilities that must be fulfilled. Team leaders shall meet these responsibilities by:
Ensuring Safety. Ensuring that every situation in the Cadet Program is carried out in a safe manner is the primary concern of all members involved.
Ensuring the Well-Being of Cadets. The welfare of cadets within the Cadet Program is a primary concern in the execution of all training and administrative tasks.
Encouraging Cadets. Encourage cadets to produce satisfactory work because they want to. Inspiring results through praise creates a positive outcome.
Adjusting Responsibilities as Required. Being able to adjust a cadet’s responsibilities during tasks is important. Cadets with experience may need less supervision and may be given extra responsibilities.
Maintaining Control of Cadets. Keep cadets on task while they are producing satisfactory work. An effective supervisor will be able to keep cadets focused.
Correcting Errors as Required. If mistakes are made, effective supervisors will communicate this. They will revise what and how it needs to be done and remedy errors. Reporting Misconduct as Required. When cadets behave in a manner that is inconsistent with the core leadership qualities of a cadet, these behaviours should be reported up the chain of command.
Ensuring Completion of Responsibilities Assigned to Cadets as Required. When supervisors delegate or assign tasks to others, it is the supervisor’s responsibility to ensure all delegated tasks are completed.
