Supervision and Authority
“Football is like life--it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority,” Vince Lombardi. Respect for authority brings to mind several terms--power, boss, foreman, supervisor, team leader, teacher, school principal and even parents. ... They all refer to someone who has authority or control over someone else. ... I would like to take the liberty of expanding on this to make my definition of supervise be: to have the authority to oversee or direct and the responsibility at least in part for the outcome. Along with authority comes responsibility. ...
How a person reacts to authority as an adult is related to their prior experiences with people in authority over them. ... Parents do a lot to influence how their children will react to supervision later in life. They can do this by their direct interaction with their children and how they use (or abuse) their authority. They can also, perhaps without realizing it, show by example how they, the parents, handle the supervision or authority over them.
