The post of supervisor should be abolished in the hierarchy of managers. Do you agree? Give any three reasons in support of your answer.
No, I disagree with the statement that the post of supervisor should be abolished in the hierarchy of manager because of the following reasons :
(i) Mediator: The supervisor usually acts as a link between the top management and the subordinates. Their main job is to prepare a cooperative environment between both levels of the management.
(ii) Motivating subordinates: Supervisors maintain discipline at a lower level and monitor the tasks performed by subordinates. Subordinates are empowered and motivated to work diligently and efficiently under the supervisor's guidance.
(iii) Optimum utilisation of resources and effective communication: It properly allocates relevant resources among relevant subordinates whose roles and responsibilities are also defined by supervisors and ensures that work is completed as per planned instructions of the top management.
