1MANAGING PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONPart ABeing a manager of a multinational company, it is my primary challenge to solve theorganizational problems creatively. The principles of management have been categorized intofour major segments of planning, organizing, leading and controlling (POLC Framework). Itis immensely important to note that this particular framework depicts the daily activities ofthe managers. I understand how the life of a manager is and how it can be hectic andfragmented at any level. However, having a work experience over 10 years, I understand thatthe functions of POLC are still a very useful way of categorizing the managerial activities inorder to achieve the goals of the organization. While working with the multinational company, I came across various challenges andfaced it by applying the techniques of planning, organizing, leading and controlling. One suchincident happened, when my subordinates were not ready to work as a team and wascompeting among them-selves. I was assigned to lead a team and the team members wereallocated a group project. However, the team members were not ready to work with eachother, as they were very competing in nature. More than engaging into team activities, theemployees were engaged into individual performance and goals. I took some steps in order toreshuffle the organizational policies and working procedures. Planning is the most important function which involves setting of goals andobjectives. On planning, I was much aware of the conditions of the external as well asinternal organizational environment.

Firstly, I managed to establish the standards of the performancelevel of my employees. Secondly, I compared the actual performance level against theirstandards and thirdly, I took correct actions when necessary. Therefore, these are the stepswhich helped me control my team and at the same time, it enhanced their level ofperformance.Part BOrganizational behavior refers to the study of interaction of the employees with eachother or within a group. There are several reasons why companies and organizations need touse the theories as well as concepts of the organizational behavior.
