This level of maturity does not come easy, but it is one of the best ways to good supervision. There are some supervisors who want to have complete control. Such is the cause of so much stress in our lives. Stress is cancer. Cancer kills! No employee.no supervisor.no manager should have to go through physical, mental and emotional minutes, hours, days, months or years of psychological anguish of work abuse. It is wrong. Like Avadan's story, how many of you were aware that this was happening with her? How many of you this could be happening to a colleague you work closely with? Not many! People are usually afraid to speak out because of the fear of repercussions and fear of losing their livelihood.
