Improving both oneself and one's subordinate involves managing time and life, identifying high-payoff targets, selecting and setting goals, having confidence in oneself, and using one's abilities to make things happen. One method for supervisors to improve subordinates is orientation, preassignment, and inservice training. In planning training, particulary on-the-job-training, the supervisor must assess the trainee's prior knowledge and training needs, perform a job analysis, establish goals, provide feedback, and reward improvement and progress through the steps of the to-be-learned task. A four-step training procedure, involving trainee preparation, presentation, application, and followup, is recommended. The evaluation should consider how well the trainee met objectives, identify problem areas, assess the trainee's attitudes toward the training, and evaluate the training itself. The evaluation interview should review the trainee's strengths and weaknesses and include a plan for further improvement in performance. Progress checks and a comprehensive lesson examination are included. For related lessons in this series, see NCJ 103000-103007.
