In my opinion these values are the basic one anyone working for the civil service should pursuit:

 integrity

 honesty

objectivity

impartiality

The rest will come as you will follow. 

 

How about this - supervise people in the same way that you expect and want to be supervise yourself.

I know that for me that mean being guided and advice when I need \ ask for it, but also have some free hand to expand beyond my job description. Usually giving worker some free hand means getting better results.

I think that one of the most important things as a supervisor is to remember that you can't control everyone and everything and that workers aren't children and shouldn't be looked after at all times.

yes i agree about supervising the people. The supervisor dont need to shout all time on their employees. But keep in mind that the supervisor must keep an eye on his employees otherwise empolyees will after sometime not give him respect.
