The Badgett-Kritsonis Supervision Leadership Model (BK-SLM; ©2014) focuses on six fundamental principles of effective supervision. Step One: Expectations must be reasonable. Step Two: Expectations clearly communicated. Step Three: Expectations consistently enforced. Once these foundational steps are established, the supervisor advances to the fourth, fifth, and sixth steps. Step Four: Results monitored. Step Five: Results evaluated for effectiveness. Step Six: Expectations reinforced or revised in a systematic, measured, and safe manner. This model is grounded on effective decision making.
