Abstract
To supervise is usually defined as to oversee or to direct work. However, there is a lot more to supervising than that. Indeed, there are the matters of communications, hiring and firing, representing management, training new and old employees, helping to develop better methods of production, keeping records, and so on. As a supervisor, one deals with directing people rather than dealing with things or machines, as one’s employees do.
