I think, (having done it myself and worked for good and bad sups) it comes down to three basic things:
1, Having some respect for your staff. (heard one supervisor say, that they thought that anyone who isn't a sup after two years "had something lacking" nice!)
2, Being able to stand up for the archaeology as much as possible, but also knowing when to be flexible.
3, Knowing that you can't please all the people all the time, unfortunately.
Bikkies and/or doughnuts are just a given!
