Have you ever had to set boundaries with a close friend or a family member? In such relationships, there's an intimacy and a trust, yet there's also unspoken parameters. In the social sector, where depressions, loss and victories are shared between clients and professionals or staff and supervisors, the line between intimacy and professionalism is always shifting. In this episode, Tim Day, national director of Waybase, helps us to orient the way three human systems determine our expectations in a community. Whether it be a system based on competency (weak serve the strong), a family system (strong serve the weak) or an individualists system (serve the self), they each contain an expected mode of behaviour that does not translate between systems. Tim lays out what occurs when we esteem one system above the rest.
