Compare 2 columns query HELP!

Hey All, I'm having problems with this Query. I have a DB that I'm writing a query through MS SQL enterprise Manager. Majorly simplfied here it is:

Table contains three columns, employeeid employeeLastName, supervisorid

Every employee has a supervisor assigned to them. That supervisor id is also located in the employeeid column, just in a different area, example:

employeeid: employeeLastName supervisorid
125263 Smith 125266
125266 Jones 124423

The end user wants to know the supervisor's last name not the id. Ive bunch of different things, but I am a newbie to sql. Basically I want to do something that says if supervisorid IN employeeid display supervisorid. Ive tried unions, a sub select statement, but I'm always off somewhat. I have access to do anything I want on the DB. Can someone point me in the right direction?
