Dr. Josefa Vargas, High School Principal of St. Mary's College was granted an official leave for a month to attend an international conference at Bangkok, Thailand. On the duration of her absence, there are tasks that are supposed to be done and completed in her office. They are the following: meeting with PTA, observation of teachers, discipline of an erring teacher, performance evaluation of teachers, speaking engagements with Girl Scouts, coordinate activities on school sports fest, creation of committees for forthcoming program, interview of new applicants for teaching, and budget preparation for her department. Dr. Vargas wants to delegate some tasks for two good reasons which are to empower her teacher and to avoid backlog. 

a. Among the identified tasks, which can be delegated and not be delegated? 

b. How can effective delegation be achieved considering who is the right person, how to address resistance and follow up process to ensure success?  

Recently, you were promoted from the job of first-level supervisor to that of middle management, and you now have under your supervision several of your former equals. Finally, there is Mr. Ben, the permissive supervisor. Instead of running his employees, he is letting them run him. His subordinates do their jobs in any manner they wish. They do not respect Ben's authority, and they raise many objections that he lets them do whatever they want. Often they boast how they tell him off. All the supervisors under your jurisdiction are doing a good job. You would like to take the easy way out and fire Mr. Flores, Ms. Tim, and Mr. Ben, but they have been with the organization for quite a while. Besides, you feel that if you can lick these problems, you will receive quite a bit of recognition from upper management.

Discuss how you can help the following become an effective supervisor. a. Mr. Flores b. Ms. Tim c. Mr. Ben II. Answer the following questions substantially. 

1. Discuss how the best leaders give their best for the people and also how best leaders get the best from people. 

2. Give two insights that you have learned from the subject, and explain how you can apply these insights in your place of work.
