Effective supervisors build mutually respectful and trusting relationships. The intrinsic power differential between staff and supervisor can make that challenging; different racial, cultural, and gender identities can make it even more complicated. 

In this deeply reflective and highly interactive session, participants will:

  • Consider reflection questions about lived experiences in relationships across difference
  • Apply some of Steven Covey’s research as well as research by Karen Pace and Dionardo Pizaña about trust to strengthen supervisory relationships characterized by differences in power and identity
  • Develop a plan to adapt personal patterns and habits to build more trusting relationships with direct reports and others in the workplace
  • Learn about and practice giving constructive feedback in ways that strengthen rather than erode trust
