i've discovered that i'm not very good at supervising. when i witness troubling behavior, my anxiety level starts to rise. partly because i feel responsible for poor performance and partly because i worry about how to address the behavior. although i know it's important to communicate my concerns before they start to multiply, i worry a lot about hurting people's feelings, coming across in an accusatory manner. but, today i think it went ok. i was able to spell out my expectations explicitly, gently.. i hope.
