THE FIRST LESSON TO A LEADER

The supervisor must remember that he is just one man. The men under him may be 70 or 100. But no matter how the supervisor works, he cannot do much more than one man’s work. So, the leader’s primary function is to ensure that the work of all the men under him is properly organised. When a supervisor is going to his office or workshop in the morning, He should not think too much of what he he is going to do for that day, but it is far more important for him to think of how the work for the day is going to be allotted to his men. This is not at all easy. A leader must learn to delegate his work. The more a leader delegates, the better he will be able to lead his men. Delegation of work also ensures that in case of illness, resignation or death, the work of the department still goes on. If the work is not properly delegated, the supervisor becomes indispensable in a particular job. This means that when there is a vacancy higher up, the supervisor can be spared to fill that vacancy as he has properly trained his men to do their work. Such efficiency is expected in every leader.
