Supervision is established in many organizations. As a space for relief and reflection. As a temporary team development. As a workshop in which roles and processes are sharpened and clarified. The open exchange with colleagues brings a breath of fresh air into one’s own practice and builds up a space in which more cooperation and joint learning becomes possible. Supervision is a regular update for teams and good for anyone who wants to remain a sustainable professional.
Systemic supervision in practice
Since 2015 I have been working as a supervisor for social institutions and have experience in working with management teams and teams from clinics and schools, from addiction support and youth welfare, from assisted living and institutions for the disabled. Supervision is often an established part of work in challenging contexts and ensures work ability as well as regeneration and development of teams. I appreciate in supervisions that we can decide promptly whether to work on day-to-day business or team conflicts, discuss challenging clients or sharpen process structures. This makes supervision one of the most flexible tools of organizational consulting — and also effective as team development in small units.
For example:
- Work with a team of physicians from a large clinic to reflect on difficult situations at work. The otherwise undiscussed areas of tension in the medical profession are also discussed.
- Work with the team of a healthcare provider with 20 employees to unify organically grown structures and processes and find a shared attitude of work.
- Work with an established leadership team at a large social service agency where a former team member has taken over as the new leader.
- Working with an ambulatory care team that feels overwhelmed by the demands and communication style of management in a busy daily routine, but sees little room to address this openly in conversation.
- Case supervision with a team of inpatient addiction support on particularly challenging client contacts and development of new perspectives and interventions for the work.
