The skills of the leading supervisor represent a serious attempt to influence the individuals around them and direct them to accomplish the required objective. When organising a group to achieve a particular goal, such as voluntary work or a planned project, there must be an effective leader who guides the group towards the desired result.
Leadership is defined as the ability to influence others and direct their behaviour to achieve shared objectives; it is a responsibility towards the led group to reach the set objectives. The leader is distinguished by breadth of vision, good expression, emotional balance, and strength of character. The Leading Supervisor Skills kit covers the concept of leadership and the qualities of an effective leader, and sheds light on educational supervisor skills and methods of developing leadership skills, with practical activities that support the trainer in conveying the idea clearly.
