It enables them to elaborate different ways and different perspectives in dealing with their everyday problems from the working field. + Leadership function (administrative function) refers to the supervision of the quality of professional work and it is oriented towards evaluation of the expert’s performance within an organization with the aim of improvement of the services provided by the organization. Within supervision process intended as a form of internal monitoring, all of these functions should be combined. If we consider the different settings within which development projects take place, as well as different levels on which supervision could be implemented, we would certainly meet the following supervision forms, combined depending on focus, aims and purposes of monitoring:”” + Supervision as managerial function takes place in an organization at an operative level and includes the managing and controlling of defined and communicated tasks. The supervisor is therefore part of the organizational hierarchy. s Leadership supervision stands for supervising the special tasks a leading function / role requires in the public and the non-profit sector. It focuses on leadership performance and attitudes. ¢ Organizational supervision contributes to the effective functioning of the organization. It takes place through regular and supervised contacts of superiors and subordinates, and members of professional teams. The emphasis is on reflecting the relationship between the team and the wider organizational environment, on illuminating power positions, and on institutional and subjective understanding of roles and tasks. + Team supervision focuses on team relationships, communication boundaries, team roles, power relations and competition, the atmosphere in the team, etc. If we consider supervision as a form of internal monitoring, it would be restrictive to use only one model or approach to supervision since monitoring as a setting implies a multitude of different situations (project field and sector, collaboration with partners, strategic planning and implementation of activities, political dimensions of project, Project Cycle Management, etc.). fakulteta, 2006, 149-160. 77 Judy — Knopf (eds.), ECVision.
