Managers in every organization perform several essential functions, including planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. How well each function is handled in an organization will ultimately determine whether a manager is successful. Planning is the first function of managing, which is the process for the future by setting goals and objectives and developing courses of action for accomplishing them. Organizing is arranging personnel and physical resources to carry out plans and accomplish goals and objectives. Leading is the ability to motivate others to perform various tasks that will lead to accomplishing goals and objectives. Controlling is the process by which managers determine whether goals and objectives are being accomplished and whether operations are consistent with plans.
