One of the first things you need to do when you become a new supervisor is to become familiar with all of the components of your organization and meet with other unit heads. It is important to see how your unit fits into the rest of the organization. Many issues require a comprehensive organizational approach. By becoming familiar with your organization you can feel free to call upon other unit heads when confronted with issues where you can use their help and advice. In addition unit heads will feel comfortable calling on you if they need your help fostering cooperation within the organization. Participate in organization committees and task forces. This gives you a say in helping your organization to make changes to improve customer service and staff performance.
