How can the functions of management be integrated?

There are five functions of management; planning,
organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling. All five functions are very closely
related and they tend to blend together. They can be integrated in many ways and to be
honest I am not sure they can exist without
integrating.

Planning is the basic function of management
and it's primary focus is setting organizational goals. Organizing is the act of
bringing together different departments to actively achieve organizational goals.
Staffing is the act of manning the structure. Directing is influencing, guiding,
supervising, motivating so that the organizational goals can be achieved. The last
function is controlling. This is basically setting performance standards, making sure
they are followed and achieved and taking corrective action if they are
not.
