Supervisors, as individuals in positions of leadership, need occupational wellness skills. Supervisors need to be decisive, productive, dependable, and efficient at the same time as being caring and understanding. Great leaders are not born with such skills, but they do have common characteristics that are a set of skills they have gained in their lifetime. In this talk, I will discuss the core skills every great leader must learn and offer practical tips for supervisors looking to become strong leaders.
