I disagree with the critics that say the four functions of management model is irrelevant to today’s managers. The four functions of management or the”management process” is below:
- Planning – Set Goals and decide how to achieve them
- Organizing – Arrange task, people, and other resources to accomplish work
- Leading – Motivate, direct, and otherwise influence people to work hard to achieve the organization’s goals
- Controlling – Monitor performance, compare it with goals, and take corrective action as needed.
I believe that the four functions are necessary for a great manager. It would be great if it was required. That is one thing that the book says is that the most sought out resources in a company is worthy employees. A manager that has the skill set of the four function is a hot commodity, because with these skills, the manager inspire others on company to push harder, to be goal orientated, to achieve company goals. An exceptional team always starts with it’s leader, and with a great leader an organization can soar.

Great discussion on the four functions of management!
There are many different topics in the assigned chapters 1 & 2.
For example, in chapter 1, what is an exceptional manager? For anyone looking to discuss other topics and earn credit for the week, please go ahead and offer your thoughts on this subject. When you think of what is an exceptional manager, think of the people you thought were just that. What made them exceptional? How do they fit in to the traits presented by Kinicki and Williams (2017)?
