I supervise one person right now, and have supervised six people at the same time in a job I had some years ago.
I'm fairly good at it, but how successful one is depends on the circumstances. Being able to build a strong team spirit is important, along with company loyalty and work ethics.
Clear communication and lines of reporting are key.
The challenges are if a person is merely "supervising" as opposed to having managerial responsibility. Sometimes the manager can create conflict by accepting work of a lower standard than is required or changing established procedures. Another challenge is lack of truthfulness. It's amazing what some people think they can get away with in the work place. In the case of one person I supervised, she had innumerable days off sick and I began to lose count of the relatives whose funerals she had to attend. Needless to say, we had an interesting conversation at some point!
