Control is one of the three fundamental management procedures, along with planning and delegation, on which the accuracy of management most depends and which, when used correctly, reinforce each other, giving a synergistic effect.
When monitoring the work of employees, most managers experience confusion and psychological discomfort: some are afraid of offending their subordinates with mistrust and ruining relationships with them, others cannot find the right approach to performing control procedures and, as a result, consciously or unconsciously avoid monitoring, others consider control a relic of the past and are trying to introduce self-government and other fashionable methods of “modern management”. Like any tool, control provides the desired result only when used correctly and creates problems if used incorrectly.
This unique practical guide will help you build your own system for monitoring the work of subordinates and link control with planning and delegation in a single management cycle. You will receive a huge practical toolkit for radically increasing the accuracy of managing any team, from a small workgroup to an entire company.
