Someone once told an entrepreneur can boldly say his or her business is growing when it has reached the point where they do not have to be around before it can function. And to some extent it actually makes sense. But then again as a business owner would you be willing to leave your workers unsupervised, do you trust them to that extent?

It seems not right to leave my business without supervision unless there is a manager to manage while I am away for a vacation for example. Once the owner is not around, the workers may do monkey business.

There is no way it is realistic for any business owner to allow his workers or employees to work without supervision because most people will take it for granted and not take their job seriously.

For my kind of business, you have to constantly supervise the business because the margins for success and failure is very slim. And you won't do anything to the employees if they make a mistake and the business fails.

I can leave my assistant for a while and I am sure he would run the studio without any lapses. That's because he has been following us closely and has demonstrated competence in the things he has been given.

If I find the employee a trustworthy person and s(he) has worked for the company for a long time, I would allow him/her to work without my supervision. I would request the progress of his/her work from time to time.

I actually work without supervision. I am teacher and in my shift we have another 8 teachers at least and my boss can't supervise everybody in real time. She visit our hours one time per year.

I can allow a few of them to work without a supervisor maybe because they must have been working with me for long and I already know how they do their jobs because I trust them

Since my boss can't supervise us all time I have big autonomy and this is main part which I like on my work (with free weekends and without night shifts).

Nowadays peoples are no longer interested in the jobs, they are after money. That's why they would tend to not work at all on the work without supervision strategy for sure.

Actually, workers do not need to be supervised continuously, besides this it will make them less free to carry out activities or complete work, they will also think that we as business owners do not believe in the abilities of employees.

It is obviously not every staff that you would allow to work without supervision. They are some that have displayed high level of competence to work without supervision. I have two staff that I know can work without supervision.

I have only one staff and the job he does is not something technical that he needs supervision.. The only worry is if he would siphon some of the day's revenue but I don't even care about that.

Even though you have trust in your worker, I would also recommend that every once in a while you have to supervise what they are doing so that you know they are not betraying your trust.

Actually there is a catch in that saying. It's ideal situation where your business has reached a point where it can go without your supervision. You can save that energy and time in other things that ensures more productivity and profitability. It means not a complete absence from supervision but minimum quality involvement. If you are a good leader and smart entrepreneur, you would have groomed people under you who can carry forward the game. You will be involved but not breaking your head on every little things to be taken care of. Your trusted and well groomed employees will take care of that with timely little guidance from you.

If there is an assistant he or she can manage the business without the business' owners presence. However it must not be a whole day leave. It's delicate.
