‘Supervision is not at all required in an organisation’. Do you agree? Give two reasons in support of your answer

No, I do not agree with this statement. Following are the reasons of it:

(i) Facilitates Control: Under supervision, supervisor keeps a close eye on his subordinates. Wherever he finds any flaws in the work-in-progress, he rectifies them then and there itself. From time to time deviations are noted by comparing actual work performance and the desired work performance. Corrective measures are taken if the need is felt. In this manner, supervision assures control.

(ii) Optimum Utilisation of Resources: Under supervision, all the activities are closely monitored. In this situation, better utilisation of all the resources like human, material, machinery, etc. takes place. The problem is at once solved because the employees are always under a close watch. As a result, they start doing effective work in minimum possible time.
