1. In your discussion this week, please describe the four functions of management and tell us which one of the four functions is the most difficult for you and why? Which of the functions is easiest for you?

2. Think about a manager you have now - or a manager you have had in the past. Which of these four functions did your manger do well? Tell us about what you observed that manager doing that showed he or she was strong in one or more of these functions. (If you have not worked or can not think of an example, ask your friends or family members for examples.)
