The Nature of Organization, Designing The Org. & The Nature of Mngt.
Example:
The organization’s goal is to
improve company sales. The manager
will decide which steps are necessary
to accomplish that goal.
Organizing
● Arranging and structuring work to
accomplish organizational goals,
determining what tasks are to be
done, who should do them, how
tasks are to be grouped, who
reports to whom, and where
decisions are to be made.
● After a plan is in place, a manager
needs to organize the team and
materials according to plan. Assigning
work and granting authority are two
important elements of organizing.
Leading
● Working with and through people to
accomplish the goals, motivating
employees, help resolve work group
conflicts, influence individuals or teams
as they work, select the most effective
communication channel, or dealing in
anyway with employee behavioral
issue.
● A manager needs to do more than just
plan, organize, and staff the team to
achieve a goal. The manager must also
lead. Leading involves motivating,
communicating, guiding, and encouraging.
It requires the manager to coach, assist,
and problem solve with employees.
Controlling
● Ensuring that goals are being met and
that work is being done, managers
must monitor and evaluate
performance, and actual performance
must be compared with the set goals.
If those goals aren’t being achieved, it
is the manager’s job to get work back
on track.
● After the other elements are in place, a
manager’s job is not finished. The
manager needs to continuously check
results against goals and take any
corrective actions necessary to make
sure that the plan remains on track.
