New Supervisor Starter Pack

A promotion changes your responsibility before it changes your habits. The FLS New Supervisor Starter Pack brings five practical resources together so you can organize the work and establish a dependable leadership routine.

Five tools included in the download

• First 30 Days Supervisor Action Plan: plan your first month and track the leadership priorities you need to address.
• Supervisor Shift Notes: retain decisions, conversations, open items, and follow-up.
• New Supervisor Survival Card: keep safety, facts, authority, direction, and closeout prompts within reach.
• 5 Questions Before You Call the Sergeant: organize a routine problem and prepare a concise briefing.
• Supervisor Self-Assessment: review current leadership habits and choose a specific improvement priority.

Build a routine you can maintain

Start with the action plan. Use shift notes while the work is happening, then carry the open items into your next check-back or handoff. Keep the survival card nearby for a short reminder when the shift gets busy.

Use the decision worksheet when there is time to think before a routine call. Urgent safety or notification needs still require immediate action under your agency's procedures. Return to the self-assessment as you gain experience and collect examples of the habits you are developing.

Digital bundle format

The pack is a ZIP download containing five PDFs. Four are fillable worksheets; the survival card is a printable front-and-back reference. The pack focuses on daily supervision and the transition into rank.
