ASSIGNMENT:

 

Benjamin Franklin said “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!”. During this module we will explore how managers get things done through and with others. However, we cannot move very far along the continuum towards the successful completion of our goals unless steps are taken to thoughtfully assess the situation and decide among the available alternatives what would be the best course of action.

 

Libler and McConnell(2017) at the beginning of Chapter five state “Planning is the process of deciding in the present what to do to bring about an outcome in the future” (p. 125). So, what happens when Managers fail to plan, when problems are not identified and meaningful strategies are not developed? What is the impact on productivity, staff morale and trust?
