Hi, welcome to Education Leaves. In this video, you are going to learn management process. Let's start
the video. First of all, you need to know what is a process. Process is a systematic way of getting things
done. It converts input into output. Similarly, management is a process where human resources and
material resources are brought together to fulfill the objectives of an organization. Management process is
basically a process of setting goals and leading the execution of any type of activities such as a project or
a process. Management process comprises these functions, planning, organizing, staffing, directing,
coordinating, and controlling. Let's discuss each function separately. First, one is planning. Planning is the
process of looking forward. It is basically deciding in the present about the future objectives, and it helps
in determining the course of action to be followed for achieving those organizational goals. Planning
depends on the mental state of the manager. It is a process that involves thinking before doing
something. Steps involved in planning are collecting information, fixing the long range objectives,
developing policies, procedures, rules, etc. For the implementation of strategies, evaluate the action
patterns, finding out the limitations. Number two, organizing. Organizing is associated with effective
utilization of the resources like men, machines, materials, and money for achieving the objectives of the
organization.

The purpose of organizing is to guide, direct, arrange, and change, coordinate, and control the activities
related to production. Steps of organizing. Identifying the work to be performed. Classifying the work.
Assigning the groups or the individuals to work. Delegating authority and fixing responsibilities. Number
three, staffing. Staffing is a constant and fundamental step in the management process. After determining
the strategies, objectives, programs, policies, and procedures, managers select a group of people by
evaluating their knowledge and skills to work on that project. This process is called staffing. Staffing is the
key to the efficient performance of other functions of management. Without capable personnel, an
organization cannot perform the management functions like planning, organizing, control, etc. Activities
involved in staffing are utilizes and promotes manpower, selecting and recruiting suitable personnel,
placement of manpower development, training and development of employees. Four, directing. Directing
is a process in which managers guide, instruct, and oversee the performance of the employees to achieve
predetermined goals. It is the heart of the management process. If you want to describe it in simple
words, it is actually providing guidance to the workers to perform to the best of their abilities and
capacities. Activities involved in direction process are leadership, communication, motivation, and
supervision.

Five, coordinating. In every organization, various departments perform different types of activity to reach
organizational goals. It is important that the activities of different departments and work groups of the
organization are harmonized. This function is called the Coordinating Function. It ensures the unity of
action among work groups, individuals, and departments. To achieve the organizational goal, all
departments must operate in an integrated manner. Coordinating prevents conflict and overlapping so
that the unity of the action remains unchanged. Sub functions of coordination are clear explanation of
authority responsibility relations, unity of command, unity of direction, and effective communication. The
last function in management process is controlling. Planning is the beginning of the management process,
while Controlling is said to be the final stage of the management process. If planning is looking forward,
Controlling is looking backwards. Controlling is a primary target oriented function of management. It is
basically the comparison between actual performance and the standards of the company to ensure that
the take in action was correct. So every manager should monitor the activities of his subordinates. If you
