In the simplest terms, Supervision is the tact of getting a job done through others amicably. This definition of supervision states the relationship between the managers and their subordinates. This, however, doesn’t explain the manner in which coaches, instructors and mentors motivate people to take up leadership responsibipties for the first time in his/her pfe. Newly appointed managers find themselves in a new role of coordinating inspanidual efforts in a team’s cause and that requires quickly adjusting to new roles, responsibipties and relationships. To be considered a successful supervisor, they need to develop their skills in administration, technology and interpersonal behavior.
