Describe the types of directives Bernard identified

What will be an ideal response?


Clearly acceptable directives. These orders are unquestionably accepted by subordinates. They are recognized as part and parcel of the job.

Questionable orders to subordinates. These are unusual orders such as a patrol sergeant requesting an officer to remain at one location during a shift, which the officer very likely will question unless the circumstances are adequately explained.

A directive completely outside the bounds of acceptability. These are very unlikely to be accepted. For example, a detective supervisor may direct investigators to patrol when not actively investigating a case.
