Review
Supervision is both an art and a science. It can be learned but must be practiced to be fully mastered. Good supervision skills are especially important for the civil society/nonprofit sector which relies greatly on influence and collaboration. They are essential too for the government and business sectors. In “Being a Supervisor 1.0” Joe Duffy sets out easy to understand foundational management knowledge that every supervisor needs. These practical lessons, learned from a long career and leadership, are timely for the 21st century manager in any and all sectors. -- M.D. Kinoti, Associate Professor of Nonprofit Management, Regis University, Colorado
Strong organizations all have one thing in common: skilled, effective supervisors, passionate about mission. Joe Duffy has delivered a terrific toolbox for new or aspiring supervisors, as well as more seasoned leaders keen to learn from another's experience. Joe's half a century of education and experience percolate throughout this excellent and informative handbook. -- Kevin Ryan, President of Covenant House

About the author
Award-Winning author Joe Duffy, a lifelong NJ resident, retired as the President of Catholic Charities in the Diocese of Paterson, New Jersey. He also served as the Executive Director of Straight and Narrow, Inc., the largest comprehensive drug and alcohol treatment program in New Jersey and as Board President of Catholic Family and Community Services, the Department for Persons with Disabilities, and Straight & Narrow. Catholic Charities serves nearly 70,000 people annually and administers a budget of $57 million with a paid staff of over 800 and as 1000 volunteers. Prior to working at Catholic Charities, Joe worked for 21 years at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson where he served as Vice President for Ambulatory and Long-Term Care.
Joe has a Masters degree in nonprofit management from Regis University in Colorado, a Masters degree in public administration from Rutgers University, a Masters degree in rehabilitation counseling from Seton Hall University, a Masters degree in special education from William Paterson University, and a Bachelors degree with a major in sociology from Seton Hall University. He is a member of Alpha Sigma Nu, the Jesuit National Honor Society. In 2008 Joe received an honorary doctor of laws degree from the College of St. Elizabeth in Convent Station. In 2011 Joe received the United Way’s Cornerstone Award for outstanding community service. In 2012 Joe was recognized by Catholic Relief Services as an outstanding Diocesan Director. Joe received a Lifetime Caring Award from HomeCare Options in 2015 and was selected as Person of the Year by Catholic Charities’ Department for Persons with Disabilities (DPD) in 2017.
Joe taught as an adjunct faculty member at Ramapo College of New Jersey and the College of St. Elizabeth College on both the graduate and undergraduate level. He has served in the past as a field instructor for Ramapo College, Farleigh Dickinson, Fordham, William Paterson, Montclair State University, Bethlehem (Palestine), and Rutgers Universities and the University of Pittsburgh.
Joe has served on numerous nonprofit Boards of Trustees on both the local and national level. He has conducted board training for other nonprofits across the country. In his capacity as President of Catholic Charities, Joe was responsible for developing a legislative advocacy manual that has been made available to parishes and schools. He is well known for his legislative advocacy work concerning issues affecting the poor both locally and nationally. In that capacity he is one of the founding members of the statewide advocacy group, the Catholic Coalition for a Just Budget.
In his retirement, Joe is a volunteer expert for Catholic Relief Services’ (CRS) USAID funded Farmer to Farmer program travelling for three weeks at a time, three times a year to Africa providing board and management training and consultation to agriculture businesses. He has been to Tanzania twice and will work in Sierra Leone in 2018. He is a peer reviewer for the Council on Accreditation (COA) travelling about the US as a peer review team member conducting accreditation visits for human service organizations.
Joe's motivation to write "Being a Supervisor 1.0" comes from the many times when, while working with first time and inexperienced suprvisors, he had to pull from multiple resources to provide them training materials. He often said to himself "I should write a book with the basics, all in one source". In his retirement he found the time to do it.

Each chapter/topic is set up in an easy to read/easy to reference 12 step program. Read the whole book, then keep it close and refer to it often! Mr. Duffy provides the invaluable insight and practical guidance I wish I had in my tool box when I began my career: knowing and understanding the organization and the people in it, hiring and firing, supervisory skills, learning and training, and creating a positive work environment, just to name a few. The addition of Mr. Duffy’s personal experiences and humor drive home essential points. Some sample forms and documents are also provided to assist in managing time, reviewing job applications, developing a mission statement and evaluating supervisors by employees. The detailed bibliography provides time honored and reputable sources.
There are also many good reminders for the experienced manager including, MBWA, study and understand the environment you are in (mission, vision, values), increase your self-awareness, and there is always more to learn about your team members.
The picture on the front cover reminds me of how important it is to make sure all the parts are aligned and fully integrated to have a high-performing team and organization.
understand my staff better, it has thought me deal with different situations. This is the book you want to keep on top of your desk.
