Management as "the art of getting things done through the efforts of other people" involves laid
down processes for getting activities of a company completed efficiently through available human
resources. In the context of company operation using Amazon for example the effort of others is
collectively organized towards the attainment of specific needs thus providing an online
bookshop for learners. As a manager, by the execution of the four management functions thus
planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the operations of an enterprise is meant. As
managers are creative problem solvers. Planning involves the taking of selective approaches in
meeting specific objectives of the organization and also making future predictions.
Organizing here involves the structural arrangement and pulling the human resources along to
perform a specific task for a common firm's goal.
Leading involves pulling the human resource through influence towards the accomplishment of
specific goals. Controlling as a manager requires the assessment of the firm's performance over
time and not overpowering workers.
Management requires quality leadership in other to meet the specific goals of a firm efficiently.

Hello Justin, indeed organizations are run by implementing POLC, but I believe you would
explain the discussion further by using a business.

Also, you missed referencing your work, which is very important at UoPeople.
