ABSTRACT

• Assignment one;
Introduction to Management and Leadership, details my interpretation and understanding of tasks one to six.

Prior to the following assignment, I feel it useful to explain a little about my current role within PD ports.

I am based at the Teesport site in Middlesbrough and currently employed as an engineering support team supervisor; having served an apprenticeship as a mechanical fitter/machinist.
Teesport operates a large fleet of trucks and cranes to carry out import export operations; all of which require regular servicing or repair, a task which is undertaken by the engineering department.

I am currently charged with the supervision of a small team of engineers, both electrical and mechanical disciplines, and as a team we respond to breakdowns which occur during day to day operations.
