Effective Supervision in Human Services

Think for a moment about all of the supervisors with whom you have worked throughout your professional career. If you are like most people, you probably have worked with both effective and ineffective supervisors. Bring to mind the effective ones. What traits or skills did they possess? What behaviors did they demonstrate? Now, bring to mind the ineffective supervisors. What were they lacking?

For this Discussion, you draw on your professional experiences to examine what makes for an effective supervisor in human services settings.
