Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Professional supervision is a core component of maintaining professional practice and accreditation for many professions, particularly in the community and human services sector. Professions such as social workers, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, teachers, nurses, midwives, doctors, counsellors, and psychologists are encouraged to access regular professional supervision. This practice helps maintain professional standards, engage in self-care, promote ongoing growth and development, and meet organisational requirements.

Throughout her career, Tracey Harris has developed a passion for the role that professional and operational supervision plays in the workplace. She has created a systematic framework to ensure supervision remains effective and sustainable over time. As part of the supervision platform and system, Tracey has developed a range of unique resources, tools, and documents for beginning supervisory practitioners. These materials assist in developing the necessary skills to feel confident and supported in their new roles. She has crafted seven integrated supervision models providing a common language framework suitable for all organisational and business roles.

Developing Leadership Excellence: A Practice Guide for the New Professional Supervisor is the first text of its kind to incorporate existing supervision frameworks into a comprehensive practice model. It offers new supervisors clear procedural and practice guidance for conducting professional and operational supervision. Additionally, it equips new supervisors with resources to support, record, track, and evaluate the supervision process and its outcomes.

This book:

  • Outlines the different types of supervision and poses reflective questions to prompt new supervisors to contemplate supervision's purpose, achievements, and the signs of inadequate supervision.
  • Guides new supervisors on selecting quality training, highlights key training topics, and concludes with reflective questions for consideration when engaging in training.
