non-directive supervision

Non-directive supervision is a management approach where supervisors provide guidance and support without micromanaging or giving strict instructions. Instead, they encourage employees to take responsibility for their work, make decisions, and solve problems independently. The supervisor acts more as a mentor or coach, fostering confidence and professional growth, while offering resources or advice when needed. This method promotes autonomy, motivation, and skill development, allowing employees to feel trusted and empowered to manage their tasks effectively.
