8 Role and functions of a manager

 Functions of Managers:-

1) Planning: This step involves mapping out exactly how to achieve a particular goal. Say, for
example, that the organization's goal is to improve company sales. The manager first needs
to decide which steps are necessary to accomplish that goal. These steps may include
increasing advertising, inventory, and sales staff. These necessary steps are developed into
a plan.

2) Organizing: After a plan is in place, a manager needs to organize the team and materials
according to their plan. Assigning work and granting authority are two important elements of
organizing.

3) Staffing: After a manager discerns his area's needs, he may decide to beef up his staffing
by recruiting, selecting, training, and developing employees.

team to achieve a goal. She must also lead. Leading involves motivating,
communicating, guiding, and encouraging. It requires the manager to coach,
assist, and problem solve with employees.

5) Controlling: After the other elements are in place, a manager's job is not

finished. He needs to continuously check results against goals and take any
corrective actions necessary to make sure that his area's plans remain on track.
