direct vs indirect supervision

Direct supervision refers to the act of closely overseeing and participating in someone's work or activities, providing guidance, instructions, and immediate feedback. It involves a hands-on approach where the supervisor has direct control and involvement in the tasks being performed. In contrast, indirect supervision involves a more hands-off approach, where the supervisor provides general guidance and support, but does not actively oversee or participate in the individual's work. The supervisor allows the person to work independently and trusts them to complete tasks and make decisions on their own, providing assistance only when needed.
