Leadership Alignment in Supervision

Supervisors may delay feedback, difficult conversations, or decisions when those actions are likely to produce immediate discomfort. Although delay may provide short-term relief, it can also prolong performance concerns and disrupt team workflow. This presentation uses behavior-analytic concepts to examine the contingencies that maintain supervisory avoidance and to identify feasible alternatives. Participants will use the Ethical Leadership Alignment Assessment as a guided reflection tool to consider four domains: values clarity, psychological flexibility, systems alignment, and behavioral follow-through. Through behavior-analytic supervision examples and live discussion, they will examine variables that may maintain delayed feedback or assistance seeking, identify a feasible supervisory response, and plan how to monitor follow-through. The session focuses on applying these concepts to timely feedback, professional modeling, and effective supervisory relationships.

Leadership Alignment in Supervision: A behavioral approach to values, context, and supervisory action Free live webinar | 1 BACB Supervision CEU What happens when a supervisor knows a conversation needs to happen but keeps putting it off? Delayed feedback, unanswered questions, and difficult decisions can create bottlenecks for the whole team. Avoidance often makes sense in the moment, especially when a leader worries about conflict, disappointing someone, or appearing incompetent. In this interactive webinar, you’ll complete the Ethical Leadership Alignment Assessment and use your results to explore four domains: values clarity, psychological flexibility, systems alignment, and behavioral follow-through. Through supervision examples, private reflection, and chat discussion, we’ll examine what maintains avoidance and identify actions you can take within your control, influence, or ability to advocate. You’ll leave with one specific, observable step toward a supervision challenge you’re facing now. The session includes 50 minutes of educational content, followed by an optional 10-minute introduction to the Behavioral Wellness Leadership Collective and 1:1 leadership coaching. Assessment results will be emailed to participants; access to the assessment will not require marketing consent.
What you'll learn
- 1Following this presentation, participants will be able to identify how negative reinforcement and rule-governed behavior may contribute to a supervisor delaying feedback, seeking assistance, or addressing a supervisee’s performance concern. Analyze individual and environmental variables that affect a supervisor’s ability to deliver timely feedback and model effective professional behavior. Develop one observable supervisory action and a plan to monitor its follow-through in a current supervision situation.
