The administrator best exemplifies leadership ability by:

• A. Devoting The Major Portion Of His Time To Supervising Subordinates So As To Stimulate Continuous Improvement
• B. Formulating A Time Schedule Covering Routine Duties So As To Conserve Time For Proper Performance Of His Professional Duties
• C. Delegating Responsibility To Subordinate Officers So As To Have Time To Plan Division Policies On A Long-Term Basis
• D. Setting Aside Time For Self-Development And Study In Order To Improve Administration

Answer: (A)

Leadership is shown when a supervisor actively guides and motivates the team to improve how they work. Devoting the major portion of time to supervising subordinates to stimulate continuous improvement demonstrates directing, coaching, and shaping behavior to raise performance across the organization. It shows the leader prioritizes people development and process enhancement, creating a culture of ongoing improvement. The other options reflect solid managerial tasks—handling routines, delegating tasks, or pursuing personal study—but they don’t as directly capture the leader’s role in inspiring and driving sustained improvements within the team.
