The five functions of management are essential to performing our daily duties and help to keep the company running smoothly and profitably. I will be discussing how the five functions are implemented into my current position. Having my daily schedule in hand and knowing what my daily tasks are before hand is important in completing my tasks in a timely manner. I am currently employed at Garden Terrace of Overland Park, which is a nursing home for Alzheimer’s patients. The five functions of management are crucial for the success of our company.
