NG Supervision
Supervision- The Indian Experience:
Supervision in India has been mostly hierarchical, using control and power to force change. This technique stresses the supervisor and the supervisee with heightened tensions and change is often temporary based on fear and the need to comply. 'Supervision in the Indian context is feared and avoided or maintained within the safe limits of giving advice. Receiving feedback and learning are painful processes due to the punitive upbringing’. (Gilbert & Kenneth, 2000).
NG Supervision is founded on
- The Indian heritage of the guru shisya Parambara: 'Supervision was a subtle transmission of values, knowledge and the value tradition.'
- Transactional Analysis and Tai Chi principles, training and practice
- Facilitating empowerment and transformation of 500 plus professionals in education, health care and industry
