102 Outcome: Functions of Management
What you’ll learn to do: identify and explain the primary functions of management: to plan, organize, lead, and control
In the previous section you looked at the skills managers need in order to be successful. Now we will see those skills in action by examining what managers actually do. As you read through this module, think about your interactions with people in the workplace or in the classroom—it is likely that you have experienced (or demonstrated) the four primary management functions: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.
