In this final episode of our three-part series, hosts Cherie Bartram and Kerry O'Connell sit down with four experienced leaders who share the truths about their first days, weeks, and months in supervision. From unexpected challenges to the relationships that shift overnight, these candid conversations reveal what no training manual can fully prepare you for. Discover why attitude matters more than aptitude, what veteran supervisors wish they'd done differently, and how the best leaders continue learning long after that first promotion.
