Describe each management function:planning, organising, leading and controlling.?

From my experiences, I would describe these functions as the following; I could be right and could be wrong...





Planning: The ability to plan ahead of the situation. Normal employees dont normally plan for the company as a whole; it is the leader's job to do this. It is having insight on where he/she wants to do/be in the coming quarter or year. Without planning, company leaders will always be caught unaware of new or unexpected situations





Organizing: The ability to organize what has been planned out. Diversifying planned strategies to the different managers of his or her department. Organizing whole company operations to maintain standard practices and utilizing these standards as a way to minimize cost, prevent problems, etc.





Leading: The ability to lead employees toward company vision and goal. The ability to use and maximize the potential of best employees. Leading doesn't mean knowing everything in an organization; it is the ability to move whole department/company to go towards company goals and bottom line.





Controlling: The ability to maintain stability in the organization. It is also knowing what is going on in the organization at all times, esp the important ones; and resting in the premise that everything is happening within your knowledge.
