Administrative Supervision within an Organizational Context
Administrative Supervision within an Organizational Context
Introduction
Supervising teams of staff members in social services organizations is demanding. It also can be personally satisfying as supervisors see workers grow in skills and confidence, and as consumers benefit from the services provided. Agency staff members with little specialized education or training in supervision, however, often are promoted to supervisory roles. Yet many management or supervision texts offer general information about administration and management, but they rarely include some of the more practical strategies and tools necessary for day-to-day supervisory practice. This handbook is designed to help address those gaps by providing supervisors with critical concepts, strategies, and tools that can be easily applied to first-line supervision with their teams.
