Help Adults Succeed
All great work is preparing yourself for the accident to happen.

In Being a Supervisor, Gigi Schweikert offers these tips on helping adults you supervise succeed...
Learn to:
- Realize that adults, like children, innately want to succeed
- Question whether your expectations are realistic and your communication is effective
- Understand that what you say is not always what people hear
- Communicate your expectations in a clear, specific manner
Stay Positive! Avoid:
- Assuming people know what to do and how to do it
- Thinking that people will do things the same way you do
- Getting frustrated when adults don't "get it" the first time
- Expecting people to embrace and be excited about change
