"Supervisor" and "Manager" are a ten cent word and a ten dollar word, both meaning the same thing.
"Time Management" is just getting your damned work done on time for once, and stop it with the overtime, will you?
Employees want to get more, but deliver less. All of them. All the time.
Nobody notices what the supervisor does, except to complain to higher management if he tries to impose high production standards.
The supervisor's job is to do his own work in his own office. Preferably with the door closed so he can concentrate.
A supervisor shouldn't ever do his subordinates' work; it demeans him if he can't do it as fast and as well as they do it, and besides, that is their job.
Delegation is a fancy word for telling people what to do. Which they ought to already know.
Long, droning meetings are stupid wastes of time, but we have to have them because higher management says so.
Employees' greatest motivators are more money and more time off.
If they got this far, they should know what to do and how to do it. If they don't do it, they need to be criticized, disciplined, or fired.
If an employee makes a mistake, it's his fault and he should (pay, be disciplined, be bawled out, be embarrassed in public, be blamed for other problems as well, be trashed to higher management behind his back, be fired) for it.

Okay, you say. Okay, already. I've got it. So when do the introductions stop and the actual lessons finally start?
Next week. And thank you for your patience.
