Fayol's functions of management

Fayol’s functions of management are five key activities that managers perform to ensure an organization runs smoothly. They are planning (setting goals and outlining steps to achieve them), organizing (arranging resources and tasks), commanding (giving instructions and guiding team members), coordinating (aligning activities and efforts across departments), and controlling (monitoring progress and making adjustments as needed). Together, these functions help managers effectively lead their teams, ensure tasks are completed efficiently, and adapt to changing circumstances for overall organizational success.
