The work of supervision is often perceived as being too invested in detail, control, and caution. This is appropriate. However, when supervisors are invested only in these dynamics their leadership can become sluggish. Getting BIG results calls for different perspective. The Supervisor’s “BIG” List can help. To capture the imagination and commitment of team members and to communicate the desire for BIG results, supervisors can engage in these BIG practices:

• See the BIG Picture
• Build the BIG Team
• Be alert to the BIG Idea
• Cultivate a BIG Heart
• Stimulate a BIG Vision
• Create BIG Plan
