Directing

Question:

On the basis of the passage given below, Answer the questions.

Rahul is the CEO of Bright Spark Ltd., a company manufacturing LED lighting solutions. The company recently launched a new line of smart LED bulbs with advanced features, expecting a surge in demand. However, after the launch, the sales were not meeting expectations, and employee morale seemed low.

Firstly, Rahul identified that there was a lack of proper communication between the marketing and production teams. He called a meeting to clearly communicate the company's goals and expectations for the new product.

Rahul appointed Priya, a senior manager, to act as a supervisor for the marketing team. Priya's job was to oversee day-to-day activities, guide the team, and resolve any conflicts. Her presence ensured that tasks were completed on time and in alignment with the company's objectives. She also provided feedback and recognized the efforts of team members, which boosted their morale.

Rahul implemented a reward system where employees exceeding their targets would receive incentives. Additionally, training sessions were organized to improve employees' skills and confidence in handling the advanced features of the new product.

"Priya's job was to oversee day-to-day activities, guide the team, and resolve any conflicts". Which element of directing is highlighted in these lines?

Options:

Motivation

Leadership

Communication

Supervision

Correct Answer:

Supervision

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4: Supervision

In the passage, it is mentioned that Priya’s role was to "oversee day-to-day activities, guide the team, and resolve any conflicts." This directly refers to the element of supervision, where a manager keeps a close watch on subordinates’ work, ensures that tasks are carried out as planned, and provides guidance when needed.
