ASTD Archive Image of the Day: Supervisor Responsibilities, Circa 1967

This drawing appeared in the January 1967 issue of Training and Development Journal. This drawying "Anatomy of a Supervisor" was part of a training course that set out to define the roles and responsbilities of a supervisor. The responsiblities of a supervisor are enormous, but the author (and course facilitator) Ellen Parser drew this image on the blackboard to show one thing: a supervisor is a human being.

How do you define a supervisor? Would this image work for you? Why?
