Students too will benefit from her concise examination of the theories, applications, and goals of the supervision process. Along with a discussion of the ethical, legal, and multicultural issues faced by clinical supervisors, practical analyses and applications ensure that this book will be a valued addition to any clinical counseling or therapy library.

Offers great promis, but has very little to offer..............2001-10-25
I looked very much forward to receive this book, as from deacribtion it seemed to be that practical guide I needed in my work. But all the way through the book it repeats itself, and what is repeated is so selv-evident, that you continue to skip pages to search for some INFORMATION. A lot of words, a lot of schemas, that I cant imagine anybody would waste their time on filling in, as these are also just an endless repetion of basically the same questions.
An Effective Supervisor's Workbook.......2000-07-24
This book is a must-have for any clinician or academician who supervises trainees at any level of training. Because of its workbook format, it is efficient to use as either a practical resource or as a textbook, and it lends itself well to a multi-disciplinary environment. Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Counselors, Social Workers, Teachers, etc. - all will find the workbook equally useful. It has a developmental perspective, and integrates theory, current research, and practice with useful and practical tools for becoming an effective supervisor. In comparison with other available resources on Supervision, I rate this workbook as more thorough in content, and more practically useful than any supervision resource in my library.

Customer Reviews:
Book lives up to its name.......2004-12-08
Lucas does indeed give lots of creative ideas on how to be a more effective trainer by engaging trainees in more imaginative ways. There are tips here you won't see in other manuals.
The "right stuff" for trainers and presenters.......2003-04-18
Despite the prevalance of e-learning, the classroom remains the preferred training platform, both by students and trainers. Most classroom experiences would benefit immeasureably through the well-researched, practical techniques in the Creative Training Idea Book.
Beginning with the right foundation - how the adult brain learns - the book offers hundreds of ideas most trainers learn only through long trial and error (if at all). As the author discussed bread and butter subjects such as the multiple ways the classroom can be set up, how to use flipcharts effectively, how to tell stories, ideas for class evaluations or the best questioning techniques, I found myself agreeing with nearly every suggestion.
This book would have helped me become a seasoned presenter much earlier in my career. And although I'm now a seasoned facilitator with thousands of presentations under my belt, I still picked up some new ideas. Highly recommended for all stand-up trainers and presenters committed to delivering boredom-free, professional sessions.
Creative Training Idea Book: Inspired Tips and Techniques En.......2003-02-22
I just read this book and all I can say is WOW! I got so many ideas for setting up classrooms that will enhance my training, engaging participants, stimulating learning and delivering training in a way that is effective and FUN, that I am not sure which strategy I want to use first. This book has terrific information and ideas for generating learner enthusiasm, rewarding participants, gaining learner involvement and rewarding positive behavior. The author really sets the tone for the entire boiok in the first chapter where he discusses research on brain-based learning, multiple intelligences, adult learning principles and much more. Throughout the book, he's also provided something he calls "bright ideas" and "Interim Reviews" for applying the information provided.
This is going to be a book I reference often and would encourage anyone involved in T&D to own.

Customer Reviews:
A flawless book!.......2006-01-26
The supervisors are just an important link isnide the administrative chain; and the strength of such chain depends on the weakest one.
On the other hand, most of people who conform the Top Mangement pretend very often, to change the environment around them rather than change or even adapting themselves.
In the complex world we live, plentyof opportunities, challenges and fierce competitive status, the role of the supervisor implies by itself, a constant enhancement around all what concern with conceptual and interpersonal abilities, as well to develop the sense of the opportunity, in order to choose the right moment to express the message, how to express it to the right person.
The author remarks the fundamental relevance about the perception, supported by the subjectiveness of the observer respect a fact (Remember Rashomon).
In sum, this text is a sumptuous, illustrative and ambitious journey into the complex, dynamic and ever changing universe ofthe organizations, not only around its iner structures, but besides, respect the outer environment.
Read this book with your waders on.......2001-04-19
Do you have a mentor at work? Does your mentor counsel and support you under every conceivable circumstance? Picture your mentor walking toward you down the hall. It's the end of a typical business day---no earth-shaking crises had to be dealt with, just the normal day-to-day challenges of supervision---
Do you duck into the Ladies' Room to avoid yet another of your mentor's long, boring monologues?
I mean, this guy has really helped your career and you are extremely grateful for his assistance, but the next time he starts to lecture you on how to increase employee productivity, you're going to grab him by the lapels and---
I have very mixed feelings about "The Effective Supervisor's Handbook." On the one hand, it is chock-full of solutions to the everyday challenges of supervision. First-line supervision is not a very glamorous topic and this book fills a definite information gap. I have owned a copy of "The Effective Supervisor's Handbook" for at least five years, and I reference it at least one or two times a month.
On the other hand, its author never overlooks an opportunity to state and restate and re-restate the obvious. Here is a sample from the section, "Self-interest and Work":
"As participants in society, people hold memberships in various organizations. Some memberships are voluntary, whereas others are somewhat involuntary. Except for those activities or organizations where membership and participation are involuntary, people usually have a choice of withdrawing from membership."
The climax to this section is, "No one can force you to stay at a job."
The normal reaction upon completing this section is, 'why did we just spend two pages on something this obvious?'
"The Effective Supervisor's Handbook" is exactly as advertised. It has sensible advice for everything from managing the office grapevine, to the benefits and risks of counseling employees. If you are a first-line supervisor, ignore the truck-loads of trendy books on 'leadership' and 'management.' Buy this book, put your waders on, and fish out the bits that apply to your particular situation.
Just don't attempt to read it from cover to cover.

Great Book.......2007-01-09
This is a very good book to use as a guideline for supervisors!
Nice Practical Book.......2006-07-13
I purchased this particular book for an on-line program and not because it even vaguely seemed attractive much less "Effective". To my delight the book has made some excellent strong points and is very practical. I really can't say too much "cons" about the book. If you need a book for a Management program, whether online or conventional class room or even for short courses and seminars...it works great. Easy, simple reading.
I gave it 4 stars because it took 4 weeks to arrive-lost one star for shipping!
