Introduction
As a supervisor, at some point in your social work career, you will find yourself in the position of power, and in a situation where corrective and disciplinary action is indicated. It is important for supervisors to have the knowledge and skills to navigate these difficult situations.

Instructions
For this assignment, discuss the interplay between the Social Work Standards for Supervision (2008), Reamer’s (1998) obligations of a supervisor, and supervisory authority and power. By providing relevant examples from your personal experiences, and a connection to the course content, discuss this interplay, and the challenges of balancing the supervisory role and how you as a supervisor will address what clinicians need to do differently to solve problems, to move outside their comfort zone, to be accountable, and to demonstrate honesty in their work.
