Responsibility of the supervisor for technical supervision:
A. A constant evaluation of the work of the leader should
be made by visitation on the project and possibly in

the home of the worker. Visitation of activities
should be made in an informal manner to avoid disturbing
the activity in progress or make the leader self-
conscious. The supervisor should never break into

an activity, should keep in the background, make
suggestions to the worker in private conference with
the worker, and keep tho suggestions positive rather
than negative. Such supervision should tend to bring
out the best in the worker. If technical supervision
is needed and the supervisor is not qualified by train-
ing to give such instruction, this need should be made
known to your immediate superior.
