Levy Family Episode 5 Levy Family Episode 5 Program Transcript FEMALE SPEAKER: It was such an intense story. I just kept seeing things the way he did, you know. The weird green of his night-vision goggles, his sergeant screaming for Jake to kill him. I just keep seeing it all in my head. [MUSIC PLAYING] MALE SPEAKER: Why, do you think? FEMALE SPEAKER: Why what? MALE SPEAKER: Why do you think you keep thinking about this story, this particular case? FEMALE SPEAKER: I don’t know, maybe because it’s so vivid. You know, I went home last night, turned on the TV to try to get my mind off it. And a commercial for the Marines came on, and there was all over again– the explosion, the screams, the man dying. Such a nightmare to live with, and he’s got a baby on they way. MALE SPEAKER: Could that be it, the baby? FEMALE SPEAKER: Maybe. That’s interesting you say that. I mean, the other vets I work with are older, and they have grown kids. But Jake is different. I just keep picturing him with a newborn. And I guess it scares me. I wonder if he’ll be able to deal with it. 

take a minute and think about the supervisors you  have had in the workplace. What were characteristics of effective  supervisors? As you reflect on these experiences, consider how  supervision affected your ability to complete the tasks associated with  your job. Also, think about how leadership styles can influence the  relationship between social workers and their supervisors.

For  this Assignment, review the Petrakis case study in this week’s video  and note how supervisory and leadership skills are portrayed.

Assignment (4–5 paragraphs)

Complete the following Journal entry:

• Identify attributes of leadership styles and approaches that facilitate quality supervision.
• Evaluate the supervisory and leadership skills demonstrated in the  Petrakis case study by identifying which supervisory and leadership  skills the supervisor demonstrated.
• Explain whether the supervisor in the video demonstrated quality  supervision, and why. Provide specific examples to support your  evaluation.
