In this management class I have learned many things, many of them that I will use in my daily life and in my working environment. The top five management principles are planning, leading, controlling, decision making, and human relations. Planning is my first management principle; it requires the planner to anticipate the future. A systematic process of making decisions about goals and activities that an individual, group, work unit, or organization will pursue in the future. In planning there’s decision making stages and formal planning steps. General decision making is identify and diagnosing the problem by making the choice, implementing, and evaluating it. Planning in general I learned is all together a preparatory step. Which determines when, how, and who is going to perform the specific job. Planning has been a weakness for me because I lack in planning but I have learned in this course and through past experiences that planning ahead of time is planning to anticipate the future. Without planning the future would be a total disaster. Planning starts with setting goals and objectives to be achieved. A goal in management is a target or end that management desires to reach. The main goals in planning have to be good, smart, specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. Also you can’t just have a goal you have to plan to have a goal and you have to plan out that goal. The plan to achieve goals is contingency plan a process that prepares an organization to respond coherently to an unplanned event which is referred to as “Plan B”. Strategic planning is needed which is a set of procedures for making decisions about the organizations long-term goals. If you’re having your own business or working for a company, strategic planning is a must. It also has it steps a couple are how will we get there, how fast will we
