Supervision in Action: “Evo: Designing Adaptive Organizations”
This is the first in a series of Supervision in Action Video Clips. Before you watch the video, please review the section in Chapter 1 on the four schools of management thought. Next watch the following video on the organization “Evo”:
After you watch the video, answer the following questions in your essay. You may type your answer immediately after the question, or you can write your answer as an essay beginning on p. 2
1. Most of the concepts contained in our discussion of the schools of management thought are based primarily on research and reports written fifty or more years ago; what is the purpose of studying it today?
2. Most organizations strive to be “the best of the best.” The author believes that success depends to a large extent on using an appropriate supervisory style that help people be the “best they can be!”. How might you, being in a position of supervisory responsibility, use the ideas presented in the video to help your organization be “the best of the best?”
3. Would you like to work for this organization? Why? Why not? How could the organization best use your SKAs?
4. How could one of your local government agencies or the local school system use the principles/ideas in the video to do a better job of creating value for the taxpayer and the clients they serve?
5. In today’s economy, people must constantly strive to add value to that toolbox. How did viewing this Supervision in Action Video Clip help you gain a better understanding of an organization’s keys to success?
