Folks
the Supervisor is acting in a Manager level, waiting to be promoted
When the time of appraisal comes, he should be appraise among other Supervisors or among Managers
Please share
Thanks

Greetings,
We understand this was a part of your leadership development strategy. Its obvious, that he have been grooming for this manager role, since quite sometime. This have already set the right kind of expectations, in terms of communication and performance.
As of now, he remains a supervisor till his promotion is declared and announced. Hence, it makes it liable, to appraise him with the other supervisors. However, on his promotion, all his processes would be aligned to the manager level.
Hope this clarifies your doubt. Please revert , if you need further clarification.

Hello,

I beg to differ!

He may be a "supervisor" but due to his potential is asked to "act" in managerial capacity.

His performance iin his acting capacity is also going to matter while deciding if he is good enough to be a "Manager".

Also it always the "performance" that needs to be PRIMARILY appraised. His behavioural traits etc. may (in fact should) be appraised also buth the determinant will be efficacy of his manageril skills, attitudes and perspectives.

Therefore, if his predominant role in his present assignment is "managerial" and if he has been asked to "act" in that capacity as such, then he ought to be appraised As a manager (giving sue consideration to the fact he is not yet a "manager" but is on way to become a "manager".

To get over my own "difference" in approach, I suggest that a "special" appraisal be carried out in such cases since this is not a NORMAL assignment. A way can be found out. In any case a supervisor, in many ways is close to managing! He is just a little away from actual process of managing.

Dear Winai,
Great to hear from you. Please feel free to share any operational or strategic bottleneck faced while implementing our suggestions. If it allows you, please share a little more about the roles and the sector.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Dear Sir,
I am glad to see your reply. Its a learning for me. Generally we deal processes by the rule of thumb and not logical thinking required for each situation. The nuances as noted by you will have an entirely different impact now.
I am sure Winai will be rightly guided by your contribution. Thankyou for this.
