10.1 Knowing your decision-making process
Sara describes her supervision process as ‘[she is] driving the bus’. Talk to a few of your friends or family members about what metaphors they might use to describe the approach they take to completing a project or solving a problem. Compare the different metaphors.

How would you describe the role of your supervisor in your project?
Is there anything you think would help you more effectively ‘drive that bus’?
