Some of the Supervisors super impose the organisation's vision into the individual's vision to achieve common goal of the organisation. Such Supervsiors will become leader of the team and remaining remains as supervisors only.
Teamwork leader & supervisor can be distinguished by level of delegation they give to the employer.Teawork leader encourages discussion ,provides autonomy to the staff and provide timely feedback.Whereas an oridnary supervisor perform normal tasks as per the responsiblity and nature of tasks.
It depends from industry to industry the level of teamwork and supervision required and nature of supevrision.
Sometimes the person who is the official 'team leader' or 'supervisor' is not the person who actually provides leadership to the team. In such cases this may or may not be a problem - there can be a team member who is quite happy to take on most of the roles of the team leader without having the official responsibility.
In other cases, of course, it can be a problem. Either the team has no leadership at all, or there is conflict and resentment.
In the short term, the answer is very simple: if it's not broken, don't fix it. In other words, if overall team performance is satisfactory, don't interfere.
To discover if something of this nature is happening in a team under your management, there are two standard techniques. Firstly, simple observation of the team. (You are supposed to be doing this anyway.) It if you actually know what everybody actually does, then it will be obvious. The second technique is informal oblique questioning of the team and the other people the team interacts with.
Don't hold a big enquiry, it just scares people. Don't ask direct questions, people won't answer them. In day-to-day conversation just ask general, unthreatening, open questions which are not going to get anybody in trouble. "Who is looking after [new employee]? Who do you turn to when something goes wrong?"
I support answers given by Mr. John and Mr. Sohail
Thanks for the invitation
I agree with Mr. Sohail's answer.
In my opinion, a teamwork leader would be the one who gets himself/herself involved in the tast and works with the team as one of them, whereas a supervisor would be a person who just monitors the tast from a distance, he would not involve himself into details or rather wouldnt get his hands dirty unlike a teamwork leader.
The distinction between teamwork leader and supervisor reside in the fact that the supervisor does not influence on the team. He controls and revises the job done without going into detail.
Teamwork leader cares more about his team. How to improve them and how to unite their efforts to achieve the organization goals. (Team leader: everyone works in minimum efforts and goals achieved) (Everyone is happy)
Supervisor cares more about the organization goals to be fulfilled as planned. (Supervisor: not necessary that everyone works but goals achieved) (Not everyone is happy)
team work leader is more responsible and focused than supervisor.
