My personal managment philosophy

The four basic management functions are planning, organizing, influencing, and controlling. Good understanding of the four functions of management, combined with proper execution of these four functions provides a strong foundation for anyone seeking to be a successful manager. Planning is necessary to identify the best processes needed to accurately complete a goal. The organizing function helps put ideas created during the planning function into action. The influencing function is used to ensure the team or a staff is all on one accord and is working towards the same goal. The controlling function requires the manager to guide staff through the process to ensure the ending goal is achieved.

My philosophy of management is to execute these four functions of management efficiently. If a staff is under the direction of a manager that does not know how to carry out the four functions of management, the staff will not be able to achieve organizational goals accurately. The manager’s inability to utilize the four functions of management will make their staff look disorganized and unqualified for their current positions. This could result in members of the manager’s department constantly being overlooked when an opportunity for advancement opens within the organization. I also believe it is the manager’s responsibility to make sure that he/she fully understands the organization’s mission and vision for its future. The manager should always make sure that all staff, professional and paraprofessional, understands the mission and vision of the organization as well.

I have so much more to say but this is starting to get long. :P
