challenging role that has a direct impact on the profitability of a supermarket’s bakery department.

In the bakery, this is the responsibility of the Bakery Clerk. Prices of perishable goods often change
based on freshness, so Bakery Clerks are constantly performing markdowns.

The same analogy applies to service, or retail, or teaching, or any other kind of work. Can your
group handle more customer calls with you than without? Sell higher value merchandise? Impart
knowledge more effectively? etc. That is the value of management - making a group of individual
more effective.
Plan
Management starts with planning. Good management starts with good planning. And proper prior
planning prevents… well, you know the rest of that one.
Without a plan, you will never succeed. If you happen to make it to the goal, it will have been by
luck or chance and is not repeatable. You may make it as a flash-in-the-pan, an overnight
sensation, but you will never have the track record of accomplishments of which success is made.
Figure out what your goal is (or listen when your boss tells you). Then figure out the best way to
get there. What resources do you have? What can you get? Compare strengths and weaknesses
of individuals and other resources. Will putting four workers on a task that takes 14 hours cost less
than renting a machine that can do the same task with one worker in 6 hours? If you change the
first shift from an 8 AM start to a 10 AM start, can they handle the early evening rush so you don't
have to hire an extra person for the second shift?
Look at all the probable scenarios. Plan for them. Figure out the worst possible scenario and plan
for that too. Evaluate your different plans and develop what, in your best judgment, will work the
best and what you will do if it doesn't.
TIP: One of the most often overlooked management planning tools is the most effective. Ask the
people doing the work for their input.
Organize
Now that you have a plan, you have to make it happen. Is everything ready ahead of your group so
the right stuff will get to your group at the right time? Is your group prepared to do its part of the
plan? Is the downstream organization ready for what your group will deliver and when it will arrive?
Are the workers trained? Are they motivated? Do they have the equipment they need? Are there
spare parts available for the equipment? Has purchasing ordered the material? Is it the right stuff?
Will it get here on the appropriate schedule?
Do the legwork to make sure everything needed to execute the plan is ready to go or will be when
it is needed. Check back to make sure that everyone understands their role and the importance of
their role in the overall success.
Direct
Now flip the "ON" switch. Tell people what they need to do. We like to think of this part like
conducting an orchestra. Everyone in the orchestra has the music in front of them. They know
which section is playing which piece and when. They know when to come in, what to play, and
when to stop again. The conductor cues each section to make the music happen. That's your job
here. You've given all your musicians (workers) the sheet music (the plan). You have the right
number of musicians (workers) in each section (department), and you've arranged the sections on
stage so the music will sound best (you have organized the work).
Now you need only to tap the podium lightly with your baton to get their attention and give the
downbeat.
Monitor
Now that you have everything moving, you have to keep an eye on things. Make sure everything is
going according to the plan. When it isn't going according to plan, you need to step in and adjust
the plan, just as the orchestra conductor will adjust the tempo.
Problems will come up. Someone will get sick. A part won't be delivered on time. A key customer
will go bankrupt. That is why you developed a contingency plan in the first place. You, as the
manager, have to be always aware of what's going on so you can make the adjustments required.
This is an iterative process. When something is out of sync, you need to Plan a fix, Organize the
resources to make it work, Direct the people who will make it happen, and continue to Monitor the
effect of the change.

Introduction
At the beginning of the last century (1916) the French engineer Henri Fayol created the first
principles of management theory. Henri Fayol is classified as the founding father of for example the
line and staff organization. Based on his experience as a successful director or a mining company,
he developed several theories that are still relevant today. At the time, managers had no formal
training. However, the increasing complexity of organizations created a need for professional
management.
Henri Fayol gained world-wide fame for his 14 general principles of management. He distinguished
six general activities for industrial enterprises: technical, commercial, financial, security, accounting
and managerial. He defined five functions of management for the management component and
these are still seen as relevant to organizations today. These five functions focus on the
relationship between personnel and its management and they provide points of reference so that
problems can be solved in a creative manner.
1. Planning
Planning is looking ahead. According to Henri Fayol, drawing up a good plan of action is the
hardest of the five functions of management. This requires an active participation of the entire
organization. With respect to time and implementation, planning must be linked to and coordinated
on different levels. Planning must take the organization’s available resources and flexibility of
personnel into consideration as this will guarantee continuity.
2. Organizing
An organization can only function well if it is well-organized. This means that there must be
sufficient capital, staff and raw materials so that the organization can run smoothly and that it can
build a good working structure. The organizational structure with a good division of functions and
tasks is of crucial importance. When the number of functions increases, the organization will
expand both horizontally and vertically. This requires a different type of leadership. Organizing is
an important function of the five functions of management.
3. Commanding
When given orders and clear working instructions, employees will know exactly what is required of
them. Return from all employees will be optimized if they are given concrete instructions with
respect to the activities that must be carried out by them. Successful managers have integrity,
communicate clearly and base their decisions on regular audits. They are capable of motivating a
team and encouraging employees to take initiative.
4. Coordinating
When all activities are harmonized, the organization will function better. Positive influencing of
employees behaviour is important in this. Coordination therefore aims at stimulating motivation and
discipline within the group dynamics. This requires clear communication and good leadership. Only
through positive employee behaviour management can the intended objectives be achieved.
5. Controlling
By verifying whether everything is going according to plan, the organization knows exactly whether
the activities are carried out in conformity with the plan.
Although well understood in their own right, none of the first five of these functions takes account of
drawing up a broad plan of where the business is going and how it will operate, organising people,
coordinating all of the organisation’s efforts and activities, and monitoring to check that what is
planned is actually carried out.
Fayol’s sixth function acts as an overall function in relation to the five functions.
As one of the five functions of management, Henri Fayol divided “organizing” into five
subcategories. These first five functions of management are still important in organizations today.
The first of the five functions of management, Henri Fayol mentioned was “specialization”; if every
employee is allowed to use their individual skills this will be advantageous to their area of
expertise. Secondly he mentioned “unity of command”, in which an employee is answerable to one
manager only. The “formal chain of communication” is linked to this so that the employee will know
how and with whom they will have to communicate. The fourth category is “unity of direction”; all
employees must be aware of the organization’s strategic objectives. The fifth category is “authority
and responsibility” in which managers have the authority to give orders.
