1. Discuss what control means to you as you carry out your jobs in life as a student, citizen, employee, parent, friend, and so on.

2. Be specific in your examples and think in terms of the preventive, concurrent, and corrective controls that you use for different aspects of your life. Adapt to your own life the elements of effective supervision. For example, budget controls, investments, short term and long-term planning, directing, and organizing.
