Restorative Supervision & Leadership
Radical Solutions. Transformative Change. Belonging for All.
At RISEWITHUS, we believe that supervision and leadership should be more than oversight and evaluation—they should be intentional, equity-driven, and relationship-centered. Restorative Supervision & Leadership is an approach that prioritizes trust, accountability, and professional growth, ensuring that teams and organizations thrive through clear expectations, open communication, and transformative conflict navigation.
​
What is Restorative Supervision & Leadership?
Traditional supervision models often reinforce hierarchy, bias, and top-down control, leaving employees feeling unheard and undervalued. Restorative Supervision & Leadership shifts this approach by integrating:
-
Psychological safety – Creating an environment where employees feel empowered to speak up, take risks, and share concerns.
-
Equity in decision-making – Ensuring that supervision and leadership practices are inclusive, fair, and aligned with organizational values.
-
Growth-centered accountability – Moving away from punitive approaches and toward restorative feedback, development, and mutual responsibility.
-
Conflict as transformation – Equipping leaders with the tools to navigate tensions in ways that build trust, repair relationships, and strengthen teams.
Our Approach to Restorative Supervision & Leadership
We equip supervisors and leaders with the knowledge, skills, and strategies to lead
effectively while fostering accountability, inclusion, and resilience within their teams.

biases in decision-making, evaluations, and feedback.
-
Navigating conflict restoratively – Training supervisors in transformative conflict
engagement, ensuring tensions lead to growth, not division.

loops that enhance team cohesion and professional development.

relationships with employees, peers, and leadership.
