Becoming the Supervisor
Achieving Your Company’s Mission and Building Your Team
A book by Hugh R. Alley, P.Eng.
For front line leaders and those who manage them, Becoming the Supervisor offers insight into the 5 core skills that every front-line leader / supervisor requires.

Very enjoyable read, with ideas that can be implemented quickly in any company.
A great read, a great story, great lessons, and powerful learning for new and experienced supervisors. I couldn’t wait to see how it ended.
About the Author
Work should be good… people should go home feeling like their effort made a difference. The best way for me to make that happen is to improve the supervisory skills of front-line leaders. I hope people see their work in a new way after I’ve worked with them.
My schooling was eclectic: systems design engineering, resource economics, and divinity. My work has been eclectic too; mining, steel, yacht design, pump repair, government agencies, consulting and more. And I’ve trained almost 1,000 supervisors.
