Question

Think about a good supervisor you’ve had. How did the person act as a teacher, leader, counselor, or advocate?

Answer 1

Answer: She acted as a teacher

Explanation:

I remember, in one of my first formal jobs as a psychologist, the supervisor of the department focused a lot on teaching me how everything worked in the place since she saw me as the person who could take her place. She was somewhat strict and also friendly, she maintained a line of respect that was difficult not to maintain. He was very focused on order, he always asked for reports of all the cases that were handled in the department. It was very difficult for me to get used to this way of working a little, where she wanted everything to be presented in writing and the reason why it was captured. Many times when I did not do the report, she would let me know that she was not doing well and explain the reasons why it was necessary to always have the report for the week ready.

It also taught me the importance of evidence, since if the department was blamed for something, there was evidence that it was all done. Evidence was also used to keep a record of all the results obtained in the department. She is no longer in the department, and neither am I. Before she quit I had quit because I left the country to study. I still remember her teachings, they help me in my new job as a school psychologist.
