What is meant by supervision?

Solution

Supervision refers to monitoring the progress of work of one's subordinates and guiding them properly. The word ‘supervision’ is formed by joining two words ‘super’ and ‘vision’. The former means best and the latter means view. Hence, the literal meaning of supervision is best view, i.e., maintaining the best view possible on the work of one’s subordinates. Supervision includes both looking into the work of subordinates as well as guiding them properly.
