Making it Work When You Don’t Get Along with a Direct Report

This event has ended.


Supervision can spark lots of questions—join a community of supervisors to help sharpen your unique approach.

Event Information

It’s ok to accept the fact that you might not become lifelong friends with a direct report, but what do you do when you really struggle to get along with them?  Personality and work styles aside, you’ll still need to continue to supervise that person in a fair and supportive way.  In this discussion, we’ll explore ideas for how to keep things professional and supportive despite differences. 

Who should attend?

If you supervise other people, this discussion circle is for you.  If you’re completely new to the role, you’ll gain invaluable information and perspective from others facing some of the same challenges.  If you have some supervision experience, you’ll brush up on some best practices, add new tools to your toolkit, and be among a community of other supervisors.

This event is part of a 6-part discussion series to connect supervisors across higher education in monthly discussions to develop their unique approaches. Learn more  about the series, how it works, when the other discussions will occur, and who it was designed for.
