foremanship
Crew oversight role
Foremanship is the position or role of a foreman—the supervisor who oversees workers on a job site, in a factory, or on a jury.
The word can also refer to the skill or manner of performing that role: His foremanship was respected by the crew.
Like other -ship words, it covers both the office itself and the qualities it requires.
