Supervision with a Liberatory Mindset: Organizational Change Centering People, Community, and Justice

Following up from our October session on “Feedback with a Liberatory Mindset: Organizational Change Centering People, Community, and Justice” we will explore what liberatory mindsets look like in a practice of supervision.

This session will be relevant for both managers and direct reports, as supervision is a practice that requires buy-in and engagement from both sides. We will examine what makes supervision challenging, such as oppressive structures and norms, and what’s possible when it’s done within a liberatory framework.

This session builds on previous trainings about Liberatory Leadership, but it is not required or necessary to have attended those sessions.

Session Objectives:

• Build understanding of how a liberatory mindset informs how we show up as supervisors and direct reports
• Deeper dive in three mindsets: build relational trust, practice self-awareness, and recognize oppression
• Identify qualities, practices, and structures that support a liberatory supervisory relationship

In this interactive session we will have opportunities for small group discussion so that you can bring this tool back to your organization and implement where appropriate.

Remember, “Liberatory Design is both a flexible process that can be used by teams and a set of equity leadership habits that can be practiced daily.”
