Abstract

The concept with supervision has expanded. The modern supervisor is concerned with getting things done through motivated workers. The placement and supervision of Extension staff is critical to the success of the Extension educational system. The supervisor must know and practice principles of good management. He must also appraise his subordinates with the aim of helping them grow and develop. Above all, he must recognize that supervision is a continual process. As the organization changes, supervisory needs also change.
