Supervisory Behaviour Profiles

In case you run around with a supervisor for a day, you would normally do your DILO with him and then fill in a Supervisory Behaviour Profile in which you rate the supervisor according to the "8 Supervisory Behaviours".

I always forget some. Let's see if I manage by heart:

Gives negative feedback
Gives positive feedback
Reports
Gives help
Solves problems
Follows up
Makes assignments
Gives directions

Errr, I got 3... (slightly blushing now). The rest I had to look up. But hey, it has been years...

Each behaviour must be ranked on a scale from 1 to 5, against some classifications. It shows nicely the level of supervision, that there is a training need, and that only "active supervisors" can ensure an efficient operation.

That's an easy study and does not take too much time. A consultant likes them, hardly anybody knows them though.
