ABSTRACT
A commentary on the personality model of relational humility as applied to supervision theory, research and practice is presented. Compatibility with existing research on the supervisory relationship and the prevailing competency models of supervision are discussed. The application of such a model may have impact on supervision and professional training, particularly in publicly funded services in the UK.
Whilst there may be some usefulness for stimulating supervision/humility research of a translational model from personality theory, the use of trait theory applied to supervision is an uncomfortable fit with the existing evidence base on the supervisory relationship and the prevailing competency based approach.
