A Management Skills Training Course Teaches 4 Key Functions

For the most part, a management course will teach an individual about the basic functions of a manager. Managers are charged with getting a group of people to accomplish the desired goals of an organization efficiently and effectively. Many courses will instruct the student that there are four basic functions of management, planning, organizing, directing, and controlling. Learning to operate efficiently in all four of these areas is important to success as a manager.

The planning phase of management is where goals get set and the decision is made on how the team will achieve them. Basic considerations during the planning phase includes deciding staffing needs, amount of money to invest in various portions of the operation, and the time frame to complete the tasks. Many times a manager will have to plan for various ranges of times, short, medium, and long.

During the organizing phase, managers will work to optimize resources that are required to achieve the goals outlined in the planning phase. The resources in this phase may include people, tools, or other assets. At the end of this phase the framework for achieving the outlined goals should be set and ready to enact.

Directing the team is the next basic function of being a manager. At this point the goal has been planned and all the pieces are in place to achieve that goal. Now the manager must step in and ensure that the team is aware of the goals and the processes required to achieve them. The manager needs to understand the needs of the organization and find the balance to ensure that the resources are properly optimized to reach the goals set for the organization.

Communication within the group is important during this phase as each part needs to be moving in the same direction.

Controlling is the final phase of the basic functions of management. It is an on-going phase that requires tweaking throughout the organization's life. The manager will ensure that everyone or everything is operating as planned and in the way that they have been directed. If this is not happening, then the manager must step in and fix the situation. If everything is going as planned but the goals are not being attained, then the previous functions of management must be revisited to check for validity. Something in the previous plans must be changed to make sure the group is primed for success.

After the four basic functions of management are completed, they will continue to be re-evaluated to ensure the team is working towards their appropriate goals. There will be times when the team's goals will be altered. At that point all phases of management will be reevaluated to ensure optimization of the process.

During all four functions of management it is imperative to be an effective communicator. The ability to properly outline the goals or visions of an organization is a must for a manager. Without proper communication it is very difficult for any team to be a consistent success.

Although there are many other functions of management these are the four basic functions. Planning, organizing, directing, and controlling will help ensure that any manager can help lead a successful team. These skills are outlined to someone taking a management course and will help lead new managers down the appropriate path.
