You’re a new supervisor. How can you balance your work and personal life?

Establish clear boundaries for work hours. Prioritize tasks and delegate when possible. Manage time effectively and practice self-care regularly. Minimize distractions and learn to say no when necessary. Seek support from colleagues or supervisors. Set realistic expectations and adjust as needed.

As a new supervisor in general, or a new leader over a team, create your 100days vision with the team. In addition, protect your calendar and ask the team to do the same. Agree on your work hours and what the expectations are outside of work hours. If you fire off emails or phone calls outside of work hours, your team may feel that you expect this of them. Share examples of how you balance your time so they feel comfortable doing the same. That being said, create an environment of flexibility that sometimes everyone needs to roll up their sleeves to get things done, so that the other 90% of the time there is more balancing.Split the work between them.

Para equilibrar trabalho e vida pessoal como novo supervisor, estabele?a prioridades claras, defina limites de tempo, pratique técnicas de gerenciamento de tempo, delegue tarefas quando apropriado, separe momentos para descanso e lazer, e busque apoio de colegas e familiares quando necessário. #produtividade #lideran?a #gest?o #produtividade #lideran?a #gest?o

Setting clear goals and priorities is paramount for success. Communicating these goals to my team, boss, and myself ensures alignment and accountability. Employing SMART criteria ensures goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Prioritizing tasks and delegating effectively optimizes time and resources. This approach fosters organization, motivation, and effective leadership, driving the team towards success. As an expert in the industry, I've seen firsthand how strategic goal-setting can drive results and enhance team performance.

Beginnen Sie damit, Ihre beruflichen Ziele zu definieren und sie mit den Bedürfnissen und Zielen Ihres Teams abzugleichen. Stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihre Ziele realistisch, messbar und zeitlich festgelegt sind, um Ihre Fortschritte zu verfolgen. Priorisieren Sie Ihre Aufgaben und delegieren Sie, wo m?glich, um Ihre Zeit effizient zu nutzen. Schaffen Sie klare Grenzen zwischen Beruf und Privatleben, indem Sie festgelegte Arbeitszeiten einhalten und sich bewusst Zeit für Familie, Freunde und Hobbys nehmen. Kommunizieren Sie Ihre Priorit?ten sowohl im beruflichen als auch im privaten Umfeld und suchen Sie nach Unterstützung, wenn n?tig.

As a new supervisor in general, or a new leader over a team, create your 30-60-90 day vision with the team. In addition, protect your calendar and ask the team to do the same. Agree on your work hours and what the expectations are outside of work hours. If you fire off emails or phone calls outside of work hours, your team may feel that you expect this of them. Share examples of how you balance your time so they feel comfortable doing the same. That being said, create an environment of flexibility that sometimes everyone needs to roll up their sleeves to get things done, so that the other 90% of the time there is more balance.

In Public Works, there are no boundaries unfortunately. Especially when it comes to small municipalities. That said, you need to be you. Put work away when you are not needed. When the phone rings, you problem solve and work through it. Honestly, it is just part of the job.

Based on my experience when I moved to a different company as a Supervisor, 1. Know the process - I studied the process helped in developing SOPs and really absorbed everything I can. 2. Build a good relationship with your team, it's important to start building the trust and 3. Once we have those 2 established then that's when you really make sure you get time off for vacation and do everything during working hrs (which is a challenge in the beginning)

One of the challenges I faced as a new supervisor was constant burnout. I found myself taking on a lot because I had no idea how or what to say no to. The key is to have your detailed job description first. Then based on that, work out daily plans: reports to go over, meetings to hold etc. Schedule each task with specific timelines. But, leave some free time in your schedule because other issues may come up. And when they do, depending on their urgency, either fix them into any free time, delegate, reschedule or just a polite "No, I won't be able to do that" would do. In this way, you set healthy boundaries, have more time for yourself and your loved ones, reduce burnout, and improve productivity both in and out of the office.

I emphasize the critical role of establishing clear boundaries and routines for new supervisors. Craft a consistent work schedule, delineating start and end times, email check-ins, and breaks. Designate distinct spaces for work and personal life to minimize overlap. These practices foster a healthier work-life balance, alleviating stress and enhancing overall well-being. By adhering to these boundaries and routines, supervisors can bolster productivity, gain a sense of control, and cultivate equilibrium in their professional and personal spheres.

Als neuer Vorgesetzter ist der Aufbau von Vertrauen und einer guten Beziehung zu Ihrem Team entscheidend, um erfolgreich zu sein und Beruf und Privatleben in Einklang zu bringen. Beginnen Sie damit, sich aktiv für Ihre Mitarbeiter zu interessieren und ihnen zuzuh?ren. Zeigen Sie Empathie und Verst?ndnis für ihre Bedürfnisse und Anliegen. Kommunizieren Sie offen und transparent und teilen Sie Ihre eigenen Ziele und Erwartungen. Seien Sie authentisch und halten Sie Ihre Versprechen ein, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Investieren Sie Zeit und Ressourcen in Team-Building-Aktivit?ten und f?rdern Sie ein unterstützendes Arbeitsumfeld. Zeigen Sie Wertsch?tzung für die Leistungen Ihrer Mitarbeiter und geben Sie konstruktives Feedback.

For anyone leading a team, juggling work and personal life is tough. New or seasoned supervisors are always under pressure to meet metrics, goals, build and support their teams. We have to remind ourselves that taking care of ourselves is just as important. Being a leader means we have a big impact on our team's success and well-being. As leaders, we need to prioritize self-care. That means making time for family, friends, and for doing things that fill our cup. Fueling our soul with connection, life and purpose can only position ourselves to be better leaders.

Sometimes you simply cannot make that balance in the moment. I’ve gone to some dark personal places during my career and I’ve found one routine that I’ll never give up. For me it’s exercise. No matter what I set aside an hour or two at least a couple or few times a week. My suggestion is make sure that one routine, whatever it is, is not a crutch. Vices and addictions will ruin a person. Even caffeine. If you find yourself dependent on something besides yourself you have to find a way to break out of it. We are capable of doing great things and pushing past self imposed boundaries with the right mindset. Strive for balance but know you’ll be ok when you don’t have it. If it’s truly a problem, get help.

Identify what you won’t do anymore and LET IT GO. You need to get time for your new responsibilities by leaving some tasks from your previous job description. Be clear with your boss about that, so you won’t have any difficulty about expectations later.
