I would start off by obtaining a clear brief from my senior manager, including the exact objectives and the timescales only to work towards.

Then, after approximately four weeks in the role, I would sit down with my team and give them a clear brief of what I expect and also the improvements are require making moving forward.

I would then inspire motivating support my team to achieve the objectives of the initial brief I received from my senior manager and that demonstrate you know exactly what you're going to do when you start your role as a supervisor.
