Which method helps ensure subordinates follow standard procedures?

• A. Only rely on self-assessments.
• B. Regular observation, audits, feedback, and corrective action when gaps are found.
• C. Trust subordinates to know what to do.
• D. Written memos are enough with no checks.

Answer: (B)

The main concept is active oversight and accountability to keep everyone following the same standards. Regular observation and audits reveal where procedures aren’t being followed, while timely feedback reinforces the correct methods and expectations. When gaps are found, corrective action closes the loop and helps prevent recurrence, keeping performance consistent across the team. Relying only on self-assessments, trusting subordinates to always know what to do, or using memos without checks doesn’t provide reliable verification or enforce true compliance.
