or
How directing helps in efficient and effective functioning of the organisation? Explain by giving any three points.
Directing is important because of the following reasons:
(i) Integrates employees Directing integrates employees efforts in the organisation in such a way that every individual’s effort contributes to the welfare of the organisation. Thus, it ensures that employees work efficiently for the attainment of goals.
(ii) Improves efficiency Directing guides employees to fully realise their potentials and capabilities. Through this function, managers utilise the potential of employees and persuade them to work with the best of their ability and contribute their maximum efforts towards the achievement of organisational objectives.
(iii) Facilitates change Business environment is changing very frequently, but the people generally have a tendency to resist change. In this context, directing helps manager to persuade his subordinates to carry out changes from time to time to cope with changes in the environment, as the changes are necessary to adapt and it is the need of modern business.
