Leadership Effectiveness: Planning, Organising, Leading and Controlling

What this infographic shows

A manager’s primary challenge is to solve problems creatively. While drawing from a variety
of academic disciplines, and to help managers respond to the challenge of creative problem
solving, principles of management have long been categorised into the four major functions
of planning, organising, leading, and controlling (the P-O-L-C framework). The four
functions, summarised in the P-O-L-C figure, are highly integrated when carried out in the
day-to-day realities of running an organisation. Therefore, you should not get caught up in
trying to analyse and understand a complete, clear rationale for categorising skills and
practices that compose the whole of the P-O-L-C framework. This program explores how
managerial functions of Planning, Leading, Organising and Controlling (PLOC), is vital to
the role of any manager or leader. The effectiveness of how PLOC is executed dictates the
level of success of any work carried out by the manager and the subordinates or team.
