The Supervisor's Guidebook

Evidence-Based Strategies for Promoting Work Quality and Enjoyment Among Human Service Staff

By: Dennis H. Reid,Marsha B. Parsons,Carolyn W. Green

This guidebook will show how supervisors can ensure support staff to deliver quality services for people with disabilities whose quality of life is heavily dependent on how well those services are provided. Supervisors must ensure staff receive necessary training in their job duties, are actively supported to stay motivated to work proficiently and, at times, effectively assisted to improve their work performance. Supervisors have to overcome many challenges to fulfill these critical duties, often involving frequent changes in their staff work force and varying or limited resources. Complicating the job of staff supervisors is a lack of formal training necessary to perform their supervisory duties effectively. When supervisors do receive training in how to supervise staff work performance, the training is not always very useful. The training is frequently too general to equip supervisors with knowledge and skills to affect staff work performance on a routine basis. The training also is commonly based on unproven means of promoting quality staff performance, stemming from current fads or ideology that has little if any hard evidence to support the training content. Over the last five decades, a technology for supervising staff work performance in the human services has been evolving, derived from applied research conducted in many human service agencies. However, most supervisors have not had opportunities to become aware of these evidence-based means of fulfilling their supervisory duties. The purpose of The Supervisor’s Guidebook is to describe the existing evidence-based approach to supervision. Description of the approach is supplemented with practical suggestions based on the authors’ combined experience encompassing over 100 years of supervising staff performance in the human services. The intent is to provide supervisors with detailed information about tried and tested means of promoting diligent and proficient staff performance and to do so in a way that maximizes staff enjoyment with their work.

Self-Motivation for Professional Practitioners

Strategies for Maximizing One's Productivity and Work Enjoyment in Human Services

By: Dennis H. Reid

For professional practitioners in the human services to successfully fulfill their important job roles they must be highly motivated. In many human service agencies, however, practitioners encounter situations that can seriously impede their motivation to work diligently as well as reduce their enjoyment on the job. For example, working with limited resources, unrealistic caseloads, problematic supervision, or interfering events beyond an agency’s control (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic) can all reduce practitioner motivation and work enjoyment. This book describes how human service practitioners can achieve and maintain self-motivation to be professionally productive and experience enjoyment on the job during both the best and worst of times. Self-motivation is presented in terms of practitioners actively using strategies developed through research and application in behavior analysis and therapy to promote their work productivity and enjoyment. Self-motivation strategies presented are likewise based on the specific advice of highly successful practitioners in the human services. Some strategies presented are robust in nature, in that they can be applied across varying situations to promote self-motivation and enhance overall quality of work life. Other strategies are more situation-specific, being tailored to overcoming particular obstacles to motivation that practitioners often face in human service agencies. The intent of this book is to provide practical information that effectively equips practitioners to be in control of their work motivation and thereby work consistently in a manner that is professionally productive and personally enjoyable.

African American Preachers and Politics

The Careys of Chicago

By: Dennis C. Dickerson

During most of the twentieth century, Archibald J. Carey, Sr. (1868–1931) and Archibald J. Carey, Jr. (1908–1981), father and son, exemplified a blend of ministry and politics that many African American religious leaders pursued. Their sacred and secular concerns merged in efforts to improve the spiritual and material well-being of their congregations. But as political alliances became necessary, both wrestled with moral consequences and varied outcomes. Both were ministers to Chicago's largest African Methodist Episcopal Church congregations—the senior Carey as a bishop, and the junior Carey as a pastor and an attorney. Bishop Carey associated himself mainly with Chicago mayor William Hale Thompson, a Republican, whom he presented to black voters as an ally. When the mayor appointed Carey to the city's civil service commission, Carey helped in the hiring and promotion of local blacks. But alleged impropriety for selling jobs marred the bishop's tenure. The junior Carey, also a Republican and an alderman, became head of the panel on anti-discrimination in employment for the Eisenhower administration. He aided innumerable black federal employees. Although an influential benefactor of CORE and SCLC, Carey associated with notorious FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and compromised support for Martin Luther King, Jr. Both Careys believed politics offered clergy the best opportunities to empower the black population. Their imperfect alliances and mixed results, however, proved the complexity of combining the realms of spirituality and politics.

The Clinician's Guide to Consulting

Achieving Performance Change, Desired Outcomes, and Staff Acceptance

By: Dennis H. Reid

Clinicians who work with human service agencies often function in a consulting capacity with agency staff. Some clinicians work independently, and many others are employed within an agency. This book describes how clinicians can effectively change staff performance in the human services to promote implementation of consultative recommendations for the betterment of agency clients. The content is based on over five decades of behavior analytic research and application, and the experiences of clinicians who have demonstrated consistent success in consulting with a wide variety of human service agencies. The book is structured into four sections, each of which corresponds to various consulting strategies. Section I presents an introduction to the clinician’s guide to consulting, achieving performance change and staff acceptance, outcome management in approach to consulting, and the underlying considerations for consulting success. Section II explores the specific strategies for promoting performance change and staff acceptance, consulting outcomes and expectations, training staff to carry out consultative recommendations, monitoring performance and outcome attainment, supporting proficient staff performance, and correcting nonproficient staff performance. Section III focuses on achieving consulting success during difficult situations, promoting job security, overcoming motivational issues among staff, self-motivation, and financial success. Section IV provides a list of Selected Readings containing numerous useful resources that cover the business side of consulting. This book is designed to help clinicians perform consulting duties effectively and acceptably.
