Research evidence suggests that processing cultural issues in supervision is related to an effective supervisory relationship, yet power and privilege are often an unexplored characteristic that can drastically impact the supervisory relationship. Supervisees are more likely to report having a positive supervisory relationship and feeling personally validated when supervisors explore privilege, culture and race in supervision. Though people may shy away from discussions about privilege in these leadership roles, becoming an effective supervisor means being able to navigate those responsibilities and conversations even when uncomfortable. Examining privilege and discussions around culture and race in supervision contribute towards a parallel promise of deeper self-understanding, awareness of complex cultural issues and trust building.
