Paper Content
 

A. After viewing the movie or TV show, select one of the supervisors (leaders).
 

B. Discuss THREE supervisory techniques that they used, using specific  examples from the movie or TV episode. Do not spend too much effort  explaining the background or details of the scenario, just get to the  point.
 

C. Make sure to discuss the following topics:
 

i. Which of the supervisory techniques were effective? Why?
 

ii. Which supervisory techniques were not effective? Why?
 

iii. Pick one scene and discuss what you would have done differently as a supervisor and why.
 

iv. How does a high-stress environment like war or the emergency room  affect supervisory techniques, as compared to peacetime (or a less  stressful environment)?
 

v. What supervisory trait do you most relate to and why? You should include a personal account from your life.
 

vi. Why do supervisors fail if they are using a “textbook” technique?  Explain using the scenes from the movie / show or your own personal life  to enhance your explanation.
 

If you have already seen the movie or TV show episode, you may “skim” it to refresh yourself.
