As supervisors, you are part of Brookhaven’s leadership team and are crucial to the success of your organization’s mission and the Laboratory as a whole. Supervisors are the key to ensuring that the Laboratory remains competitive by: achieving excellence in science; conducting work safely, cost efficiently, and in a legally and environmentally responsible manner; and developing a diverse, qualified, motivated, and productive workforce.

 

Leadership Connection will be published quarterly by the Human Resources Division. It will cover current issues affecting supervisors and provide answers to your submitted questions, so we can learn from each other and become stronger and more effective leaders.  I encourage you to email your questions and topic suggestions for future issues to supervisornews@bnl.gov, so that we may all benefit and prosper from the exchange.

Laboratory Director Sam Aronson
Text Box: Welcome to Brookhaven National Laboratory’s news refresher for supervisors. As part of my commitment to improve management tools and communications, I’m pleased to introduce the first issue of Leadership Connection. Becoming an effective supervisor is a challenge that comes with a great deal of responsibility. Aside from your technical expertise, you need a range of skills to manage staff, oversee work assignments, and perform as an agent of the Laboratory. I hope this publication will be another resource to support you in this leadership role by providing timely and relevant information.
