“Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their strengths are, where they need to improve, and where they lack knowledge or information.”  Peter Drucker

Creating and maintaining ideal organizations are the two major goals of management. Selecting the proper balance between Management and Leadership is critical in balancing the traditional functions and dimensions of management with the necessary spearheading of CEO Leadership.

The four dimensions of Management include:

Organization Design. Establishes its structure, provides a framework for its activities and delineates lines of authority and responsibility.

Behavioral Processes. Motivation, leadership, group behavior and communication are the interactions between and among members that enable the organization to move towards its goals.

Planning and Control. Plans specify goals and the means to reach them. Control systems monitor the organizations implementation of its plans and pinpoints significant deviations.

Decision Making. Involves recognizing a gap between what is and what should be. Identify the problem, generate potential solutions, choose alternatives and implement the solution.

An ideal organization is seen as one that operates with maximum efficiency, profitability and employee/customer satisfaction.

“Nothing is more important to achieving results than the CEO’s personal leadership in the three core processes of;

            The People Process

            The Strategy Process

            The Operations Process”

Larry Bossidy & Ram Charan, Execution
