They are responsible for ensuring that tasks and projects are completed effectively and efficiently. During the course of performing his duties as a supervisor, a person has to perform several duties. H. Nissen gives a list of the following eleven duties of a supervisor.

(2) To plan the execution of work.
(3) To divide the work among the subordinates.
