In this shared episode of Big Blend Radio’s SUPERVISION MATTERS Podcast, organizational coach and author Rita Sever (Supervision Matters & Leading for Justice) explores one of the most important questions supervisors can ask themselves and their staff: “Is this impacting the work—and how?”

This powerful question encourages reflection, clarity, and accountability, helping supervisors navigate performance challenges, communication breakdowns, and personal or technological factors that may influence productivity. Rita discusses when and how to ask these questions, why “no” answers can sometimes be harder to handle than “yes,” and how documenting and communicating effectively strengthens workplace relationships and results.

🎙️ Key Takeaways:
• Supervisors should regularly reflect on how their actions and team dynamics impact the work.
• Asking about the impact of personal or external issues clarifies priorities.
• Technology can both support and disrupt productivity.
• Communication and documentation are key to effective supervision.
• Supervisors must balance empathy with accountability.
• Cultural awareness helps prevent misinterpretation of behavior.
• “Is this impacting the work?” keeps conversations grounded and constructive.
• Understanding and addressing issues early prevents escalation.
• Supporting staff means listening, observing, and following up consistently.
