Principles of Supervision -content– The general topic for the paper will be about some real world experience you had on some job where you saw how some principles of supervision were followed well or were violated. You do not have to be a supervisor in the job. While you were working, you probably noticed something about your work environment that was really good or really bad. Your task is to identify the principles of supervision that were involved in your work situation and explain what happened. The goal for this first assignment is to develop your Term Paper Topic. Once you do that, write up a paragraph that describes it and upload it to the dropbox. Your next assignment after this will be to prepare an outline of the paper. Your final assignment will be the paper itself. There are no formal guidelines or formats for the paper. Just write 5-6 pages, double-spaced. Principles of supervision include: • Division of work • Unity of command • Unity of direction • Chain of command • Performance management • Decision making • Problem solving • Benchmarking • Mission statement • Vision • Values • SWOT analysis • Strategies • Goals, Policies, Schedules • Job Sharing • Telecommuting • Task-based work
