Question
What are three obstacles to the supervisory-supervisee relationship?
Answer
The following may be some obstacles that might impact the supervisor-supervisee relationship. Typically, conflict occurs if goals and direction are unclear. Both parties should self-reflect and identify what the goal is. If there is low-involvement, ask the supervisee questions about performance in an ongoing dialogue and try to determine why this is an obstacle. Again, review performance and if needed, help the supervisee seek training that might be needed to assist them in the process.
