Four Functions of Management

 

.
             Organization.
             Logical and well-defined organizations promote savings in energy and effort and reduce friction and frustration. The activities necessary to reach objectives are grouped into organizational charts. The charts reveal the functions performed by each position, from whom each group obtains its authority, and the relationships between groups and individuals. Planning has established the goals of the company and how they are to be achieved; organizing develops the structure to achieve these goals.
             In my company, the organizational chart has been supplemented by a performance management program (PMP). The PMP provides detailed descriptions of each job listed on the table of organization. It makes possible the availability of complete information on the functions, authority, responsibilities and relationships of each position, thus contributing understanding and knowledge of the requirements, limitations and relationships of each. .
             Leading.
             Proper leading will influence individuals to get tasks accomplished, maintaining moral, molding company culture, and managing conflict and communication. Leading is aimed at getting the member of the organization moving in the direction that will achieve its objectives. Leading should be used as a motivating tactic to control individuals and emphasize the importance of achieving the goals set out in the planning stage. When leading, the manager must provide direction to the work group, build a climate in which individuals are motivated to perform their jobs effectively and efficiently, and communicate both operating expectations for performance and feedback on results. Leading places a premium on the manager's ability to work with people. .
             In practicing leadership within my organization, the manager's do not simply give orders. He or she must decide how best to achieve goals through people. The difficult decision for a manager becomes how to provide guidance, involve people in decisions, and build a work team when all people are different.
