The Four Functions of Management: In My Life
There are four functions of management. Those four functions are Planning and delivering a strategic value, Organizing and building a dynamic organization, leading and mobilizing the people, finally controlling and monitoring performance and making the necessary changes. Combining these four functions will give the task, organization a suitable foundation to flourish upon. These functions help you in everyday experence as well as jobs.

Plans set the stage for action and for major achievements” (Bateman & Snell, 2009, pp. 19-22). Planning is a fundamental step used in completing anything. When I am working on my schoolwork I do a lot of planning so that it makes the progression easier to accomplish. For example when we get work each week I plan out how I want it to go with a little extra room just in case an emergency happens. The second function of management is organizing. “Organization is assembling and coordinating the human, financial, physical, informational, and other resources needed to achieve goals. Organizing activities include attracting people to the organization, specifying job responsibilities, grouping jobs into work units, marshaling and allocating resources, and creating conditions so that people and things work together to
