He or she or they?

This article assumes the supervisor is male. Should it be changed to he or she or should it be changed to they? I was never good with this... NyyDave 17:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is standard English to use the male gender when describing a person who may be male or female. Since the 1960's there has been many changes to the English language to remove unfair gender bias in our language. That is why 'policeman" has been replaced by "police officer" and a "fireman" is now a "firefighter." However, to write he/she is awkward so there are times when "he" makes for smoother reading.

I will edit the article and look at removing any gender-biased words. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2hmarshall (talk • contribs) 03:29, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Edit

I would like to add this to "Supervisor"

First-Line Supervisors

I-O psychology research on first-line supervisors suggests that supervisors with the most productive work groups have the following qualities:

Effective supervisors are person-centered. They rate higher in the consideration function than do unsuccessful supervisors.
Effective supervisors are supportive. They are more helpful to employees and more willing to defend them against criticism from higher management than are less effective supervisors.
Effective supervisors are democratic. They hold frequent meetings with employees to solicit their views and encourage participation. Less effective supervisors are more autocratic.
Effective supervisors are flexible. They allow employees to accomplish their goals in their own way whenever possible, consistent with the goals of the organization. Less effective supervisors dictate how a job is to be performed and permit no deviation.
Effective supervisors describe themselves as coaches rather than directors. They emphasize quality, provide clear directions, and give timely feedback to their workers.

And I would like to add this image

Merge with line management

Line manager and supervisor roles are the same thing. There's no reason to have two articles. 2A0D:6FC0:B28:D00:C48C:743C:7C50:7925 (talk) 09:33, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
