Authentic Supervision Reconciles the Irreconcilables.
Pajak, Edward F.; Seyfarth, John T.
Educational Leadership, v40 n8 p20-23 May 1983
Successful supervisors share a characteristic of "authenticity," rather than a particular pattern of behavior. From a background of Gestalt psychology, four steps are offered to help supervisors become aware of their own needs and feelings and recognize the "shoulds" that prevent real contact with others.
