19 Management functions

20 The four management functions Planning Organising Leading Controlling Explain each, how are they different?

21 Planning – Defining goals for future organisational performance and deciding on the tasks and use of resources needed to attain them. Organising – Assigning tasks, grouping of tasks into departments and allocating resources to departments. The four management functions

22 Leading – Involves the use of influence to motivate employees to achieve the organisation’s goal. Controlling – Monitoring employees’ activities, keeping the organisation on track towards its goals, and making corrections as needed. The four management functions

23 Organisational performance The organisation’s ability to attain its goals by using resources in an efficient and effective manner: – Effectiveness The degree to which the organisation achieves a stated goal. – Efficiency The use of minimal resources, raw materials, money and people, to produce a desired volume of output. So can managers be both?

24 Management skills Conceptual skills – Cognitive ability to see the organisation as a whole and the relationship among its parts. Human skills – Ability to work with and through other people and to work effectively as a group member. Technical skills – The understanding of and proficiency in the performance of specific tasks.

25 Management skills The relationship between conceptual, human and technical skills to management level

26 When skills fail Managers often make mistakes due to a variety of reasons: – Demands of the rapidly changing environment. – Other factors: poor communication, failing to listen, using employees, suppression of dissenting viewpoints, lack of team building in trust and respect.
