What is Planning? | Why do Manager Plan?

Planning is like making a list before you start building a tower with your blocks, it helps you know what to do next and how everything will fit together.

Planning means thinking ahead about what needs to be done so things go smoothly. Managers are like the leaders of a team, and they plan to help everyone work better together.

Why Do Managers Plan?

Imagine you're going on a picnic with your friends. If no one plans, you might forget the sandwiches, or the blanket could be too small for everyone. A manager is like the person who makes sure all the important stuff, like food, games, and even extra napkins, are ready before the fun begins.

Managers plan so they can:

  • Know what needs to happen next
  • Make sure everything works well together
  • Help people avoid mistakes or surprises

Planning helps managers guide their team from one step to the next, just like how you use a map to get from your house to the park. It makes big jobs feel smaller and easier to handle!
