Why is a theoretical basis for supervision necessary? How does an effective leader bridge theory and practice? Supervision involves other people working through delegation of tasks. This requires that the people to whom the work has been delegated are trustworthy and respected. There must be trust between the employees and the supervisor. To be competitive and successful, companies generally rely on employee involvement and must nurture their employees and encourage their initiative. This requires effective leaders who can encourage others to be engaged and engaged at work (Barry, Herbert, & Jeannette, 2003). On one hand, the supervisor is under pressure from management to get the job done, while on the other hand, employees want fair leadership. Understanding this theory of supervision is necessary to determine the extent to which good work is done without problems. so as not to break down with management. On the other hand, supervisors must understand how to maintain good relationships with employees so that they can produce good work that management is pleased with. In other words, the supervisor must understand how to handle pressure from both sides. In order to move from theory to practice, an effective leader must put a lot of effort into making changes to the system. This involves systematically putting into practice what he has learned. Once changes have become perceptible, more theoretical inputs are needed to maintain this change (Wells, 2009). This means that an effective leader must be patient, consistent and optimistic in the face of change. He must be persuasive, especially to management, so that his ways of leading result in better results and better collaboration among stakeholders...... middle of paper ...... employees must receive and accept the authority and responsibility for the work entrusted to him. By being given authority for the job, I believe the employee will feel that they have been given the assignment and that it is in their hands until completion. This feeling of trust, I believe, allows the employee to feel important in the group and to be able to freely contribute to decision-making regarding the mission. By giving employees responsibility for the work, I believe they will work on it effectively without needing a lot of supervision.ReferencesBarry, A., Herbet, S. and Jeannette, O., (2003).
