- Organizing: (Implementation)pattern of relationships among workers, making optimum use of the resources required to enable the successful carrying out of plans.
- Staffing: Job analysis, recruitment and hiring for appropriate jobs.
- Leading/directing: Determining what must be done in a situation and getting people to do it.
- Controlling/monitoring: Checking progress against plans.
