At work, you were just awarded a major project to complete; you believe you can do it and are excited to get started. Your supervisor puts a team in place and meets with all of you to share expectations and deadlines. The next day, you start work based on what was laid out in the initial meeting. Soon after you get started, your supervisor comes into work alongside you and the team to ensure that the objectives of the project are met. The supervisor reviews each document and provides answers and solutions to issues you have not even yet had time to address. At one point, the supervisor tells you that you do not have to complete a certain aspect of the project because it would be too difficult and would require a different level of expertise. Soon, you and the team begin simply following the supervisor’s directions. The deadline arrives and the work is handed in, though you don’t necessarily have a big picture of what was accomplished.
What are your thoughts?
How are you feeling at this moment?
Do you believe that your supervisor has trust in your ability to complete the project?
Alternatively, you meet with your supervisor to discuss the plan of action for completing the project in a timely manner with your team. You brainstorm ideas and your supervisor provides you with various resources to support you as you work on the project. Each day, your supervisor checks in to ask questions, check progress and provide feedback on what has been completed. Your supervisor provides affirmations and works alongside you and your team as you all grapple with the challenges that arise. There is a firm adherence to the time frame, staying within the budget, and meeting all the objectives that were initially set, and your supervisor works alongside you to meet those goals. You and your team work diligently and are able to accomplish the task at hand, meeting all the criteria.
