Yale Library Supervisory Profile and Development Overview

Last year, while developing the library-wide performance appraisal process, a commitment was made by the Library to develop an appraisal system specifically for supervisors to be assessed by those reporting to them. Additionally, the Workplace Survey results indicated a need to develop supervisory effectiveness. The purpose of the Supervisory Profile and Development Program, therefore, is to:

· Provide developmental and training opportunities for all supervisors within the Yale Library System
· Opportunity for giving & receiving feedback
· Improve supervisory capabilities

The goals throughout the Supervisory Profile and Development Program are to:

· Define supervisory effectiveness behavioral characteristics
· Analyze group assessment data to identify key curriculum topics
· Provide training and individual coaching sessions
· Create development and career planning tools
· Establish guidelines for ongoing improvement of supervisory skills over time
