ABSTRACT
The underlying principle for developmental models of supervision is to engage the supervisee in the process of ongoing growth and development. Strength-based models of supervision focus on the supervision alliance and encourage both the supervisor and supervisee to engage in supervision around the process of reflection and curious inquiry. Person-centred supervision models draw up the supervisee at any developmental stage and infers that no judgements are placed on the supervisee both as a person and professional. The supervisor uses an empathic approach in the supervision process, relationship and discussion to demonstrate their developmental supervisory style. In response to the limited number of supervision models available to supervisors and leaders, a suite of seven integrated supervision models have been developed by Amovita International in Australia to support different roles in any organisation or business. Evaluating supervision is the only way to understand what is being transferred from discussions back into the supervisee’s role.
