Any management team of a business would become successful if it is gained through proper decisions, accomplishments, missions and objectives. Success in a company requires effectiveness and efficiency. Managers who accomplish their goals and mission are considered to be effective.

To solve problems in the company you got to have these functions so that you can accomplish the mission and vision of your company. So here are the five integral functions of management to run a highly successful enterprise.

Planning is the process of creating the business vision, mission and objectives and how it will be accomplished. When planning, one has to view the organization such as its mission, goals, and techniques as such what things they want to accomplish at the end.

Organizing is arranging the internal structure of the organization. This is where you can divide, coordinate and control the task and information within the organization. The managers distribute the authority to do some jobholders.

Staffing is when you designate the qualified people in the position that you want them to be in the business. First you recruit the people you want to hire for your company. After hiring there goes the training for your employees. Then evaluate them if they can pass or not. The last step would be to compensate the specific task or activities that is included in the function. When it is about the family business, staffing means the unpaid and paid positions held by family members including the owner or operators.

Leading is when you influence the people’s behavior through proper leadership, group dynamics, communication, motivations and discipline. It aims to assign the behaviors of all the personnel to accomplish the mission of the organization and objectives while helping them to accomplish their own career objectives.

Controlling is the last process of creating performance standards based on the firm’s objectives, measuring and reporting actual performance and comparing the two.

Delegating a task to your employee is not an easy thing to do. It is the process of assigning task to the most capable person in the company. So here are some guidelines on how to designate and delegate more effectively:

1. When delegating a task keep in mind that delegating is different from assigning someone. Delegating is giving the authority to someone who could do the task; but overall you still control the responsibility.
2. Know and determine the results that you want to correct for the completion of task. The employee that you designate should use his or her methods to finish the task.
3. Try to know the responsibilities of your employees and determine their responsibilities. Ask your employees and check on them if they understand their task and goals.
4. Learn to communicate and define the scope of authority to the employee for delegated task. Be specific of your task. Try to give the employee the authority necessary to accomplish the task but not too much. Also, do set a budgetary limitation.
5. Make sure that every employee in the company could understand his or her task and goals. Have the employees repeat back to you his or her task to make sure he absorbed the information well.
6. Have a time limit. Tell your employees what portions of work or task you need it to be complete by certain dates. Timeframe must also be very realistic.
7. Have a follow up schedule. Monitor your employees and assist them if they have any questions. Try to set up a follow up meeting so that your employees can ask questions. Schedule frequent meetings especially if the tasks are not yet done. However, meetings need not be long but simply go over the specifics.
8. Try to avoid “reverse” delegation. When an employee can’t make her task and he or she gives it back to the manager. Don’t accept it unless for extreme cases. Accepting back the task that your employees should have made would lose the opportunity for them to learn. Just stick with your decision and check your employees for the tasks.

Effective delegation is to communicate, understand and discuss properly the designated task and goals. Always be clear with the task.
