11) Five Major Functions Of Management


The five major functions of management are as follows:
a) Planning - It is the basic function of management. It deals with chalking out a future course of
action & deciding in advance the most appropriate course of actions for achievement of pre-
determined goals.11 According to Koontz, “Planning is deciding in advance - what to do, when
to do & how to do. It bridges the gap from where we are & where we want to be”.12 A plan is a
future course of actions. It is an exercise in problem solving & decision making. Planning is
determination of courses of action to achieve desired goals. Thus, planning is a systematic
thinking about ways & means for accomplishment of pre-determined goals. Planning is
necessary to ensure proper utilization of human & non-human resources. It is all pervasive, it
is an intellectual activity and it also helps in avoiding confusion, uncertainties, risks, wastages
etc.11
b) Organizing - It is the process of bringing together physical, financial and human resources and
developing productive relationship amongst them for achievement of organizational goals.11
According to Henry Fayol, “To organize a business is to provide it with everything useful or
its functioning i.e. raw material, tools, capital and personnel’s”.13 To organize a business
involves determining and providing human and non-human resources to the organizational
structure.11
c) Staffing - It is the function of manning the organization structure and keeping it manned.
Staffing has assumed greater importance in the recent years due to advancement of
technology, increase in size of business, complexity of human behavior etc. The main purpose
of staffing is to put right man on right job i.e. square pegs in square holes and round pegs in
round holes.11 According to Koontz & O’Donell, ”Managerial function of staffing involves
manning the organization structure through proper and effective selection, appraisal &
development of personnel to fill the roles designed un the structure”.12
d) Leading/Directing - It is that part of managerial function which actuates the organizational
methods to work efficiently for achievement of organizational purposes. It is considered life-
spark of the enterprise which sets it in motion the action of people because planning,
organizing and staffing are the mere preparations for doing the work. Direction is that inert-
personnel aspect of management which deals directly with influencing, guiding, supervising,
motivating sub-ordinate for the achievement of organizational goals.11
e) Controlling - It implies measurement of accomplishment against the standards and correction
of deviation if any to ensure achievement of organizational goals. The purpose of controlling
is to ensure that everything occurs in conformities with the standards. An efficient system of
control helps to predict deviations before they actually occur.11 According to Theo Haimann,
“Controlling is the process of checking whether or not proper progress is being made towards
the objectives and goals and acting if necessary, to correct any deviation”.14 According to
Koontz & O’Donell “Controlling is the measurement & correction of performance activities of
subordinates in order to make sure that the enterprise objectives and plans desired to obtain
them as being accomplished”.12

12) What are the qualities of a good leader?


According to Economy (2016), here are 5 attributes of some of today's truly great leaders:
a) Clarity - They are clear and concise at all times--there is no question of their vision and what
needs to be accomplished. This gives others the opportunity to digest their goals and decide
whether or not they will support their cause. Generally, very few people know what they want,
much less how to get there, so they will gravitate towards those who appear to have a clear
picture in mind--good clarity leads to great achievement.
b) Decisiveness - Once they have made up their mind, they don't hesitate to commit--it's all
hands on deck. They show great consistency with their decisions, rarely backing out or
changing their minds unless it is absolutely necessary. Being decisive shows commitment, a
quality very high in demand for a great leader.
c) Courage - Boldness is both something you can develop and something that is blessed as a
virtue. Although some people are naturally more fearless than others, practicing how to be
fearless--or at least project fearlessness--is a completely doable task, one many have achieved
in order to fulfill their role as an amazing leader.
d) Passion - There's nothing more inspirational than seeing someone who cares about what they
do--the best leaders exhibit boundless energy and passion for what they do. Don't be shy about
your passion for whatever it is you are leading, be it a book reading or a laboratory
experiment. As long as you are passionate about what you know, or care about, it'll shine
through and people will follow.
e) Humility - While confidence is a very attractive trait in leaders, there's nothing like a humble
character for creating a lovable persona. Great leaders admit when they are wrong and take
criticism as an opportunity for growth. Show the world how grateful you are to be where you
are. This, in turn, will demonstrate how much you deserve the leadership role.15

13) Importance of management in sports events


Management is a key factor to success in any physical and sports education programs. It involves long-
term strategic plans and programs: resources, financial, legal and safety management, public relations,
and promotions. It deals with the tasks and accountabilities to accomplish the objectives through
cooperation. It requires harmonious effort amongst members to fulfill the target objective. It assists
individuals to realize their objectives or goals and provides guidelines in the collaborative strengths of
people. Management defines the group’s development, efficiency, and accomplishments. It also defines
whether members within the group are contented, cooperating, and productive.
Management gives a grasp and value to the essential ideas of the field’s discipline. Understanding
management helps an individual consider having a career in a certain field. Majority of physical
educators do certain management work: thus, skills in management will provide better performance.
Management is vital to collaborative effort and it helps foster good human relations.16
