COMPETENCES OF A SUPERVISOR
Sonja Žorga
Abstract
When it comes to characteristics important for a supervisor, we can talk about personal and professional qualities. Every competent practitioner in the field of helping professions should develop most of these qualities, but there are also some specifically important for supervisors. This paper gives a brief overview of a number of ideas of various authors (Hawkins and Shohet, Carroll, Kugler etc.) about professional competences which are essential for qualified supervisory work. Supervision researchers have also established different stages through which supervisors pass in the process of their professional development. The paper describes some common characteristics which make up four typical developmental stages that supervisors go through.
