What are the 4 basic functions of Management?

Every process is driven by a few components that make a crucial part of it. For Management, there are originally four widely accepted functions that encompass the necessary skills. They are:

  • Planning: Every process needs to analyze the requirements, plan a budget and allocate it, divide the work to the team based on the capabilities, set a deadline and leaps, create a blueprint to follow, and also have a plan B. 
  • Organizing: Without proper planning, organizing the workflow becomes a little complicated. Every task has to be organized to reduce time, effort, and capital investment.
  • Leading: Leading involves a capable and motivating member of a team who can drive the entire process and assign the work based on the individual’s capability. The leader is also involved in monitoring and guiding when the process is not on par with the plan. 
  • Controlling: In a process, controlling involves both assets and manpower. From the capital to asset flow to the allocation of the tasks, deliverability, and others, controlling makes sure that the right quantity and quality of resources are used to achieve the optimum result.
