Remember the four management functions? They are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Think of a job you have now or one you’ve had in the past. List the managerial activities you have done or observed. If you have never had a paid job, remember that it takes management skills to manage a home, run a baseball team, and lead a church group. Classify each activity of your job according to whether it involved planning, organizing, leading, or controlling. Please also include a short narrative substantiating the way in which you have clarified each activity. Please make sure to comment meaningfully on one other student's post: do you agree with their classifications? Is there anything you found surprising about their job and the activities involved?
