Management operates through various functions, often classified as planning, organizing, leading/motivating and controlling.

  • Planning: deciding what needs to happen in the future (today, next week, next month, next year, over the next 5 years, etc.) and generating plans for action.
  • Organizing: making optimum use of the resources required to enable the successful carrying out of plans.
  • Leading/Motivating: exhibiting skills in these areas for getting others to play an effective part in achieving plans.
  • Controlling: monitoring -- checking progress against plans, which may need modification based on feedback
