Overview:
Being a successful supervisee means knowing how to work well with your supervisor. How do you relate to the person to whom you report? We know that the only constant in life is change. Supervisors come and go. Staff members should not expect supervisors to adapt to them; supervisees have to adapt to their boss. How do you do that successfully?
