Career Development & Leadership

Junior staff here- the fact that you are taking the time to ask this question is more than many supervisors would do, so well done. I would set clear expectations from the beginning as to what level of support you are able and willing to give and what they are looking for- this aligns expectations and fosters a good relationship from the start. Along the same lines, have an upfront conversation around communication, how you both prefer it and what is feasible in your working relationship. Lastly, practice what you preach and show examples of ownership for making mistakes. Hope this helps :)
