The Apollo Case Study Series returns with a conversation that many Behavior Analysts will likely resonate with.\\xa0

In this episode, I speak with Kristen Vaughn, Vice President of Clinical Operations of Apollo Behavior. We discuss her career arc, and focus on her transition from providing mainly clinical services to her current role in executive management.\\xa0

We cover her early clinical experiences, what it\'s like to get direct and perhaps difficult to hear feedback, the challenges of letting go of clinical duties, and what it\'s like to work with a leadership coach.\\xa0

If you\'re a BCBA, or an aspiring one, chances are, you\'ll have to supervise the work of others in some capacity, so there are many great lessons in this episode for you.\\xa0

Related to this, we talked about the book, Motivating human service staff: Supervisory strategies for maximizing work effort and work enjoyment, by Reid and Parsons. It, along with The Supervisor\\u2019s Guidebook: Evidence-Based Strategies for Promoting Work Quality and Enjoyment Among Human Service Staff, should be considered must-reads for those in supervisory positions.\\xa0
