  1. How do you think the four management functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling fit in with the ideas Sinek expresses in his talk? 
  2. Give an example from this week’s reading materials that make the connection between each of the four management functions, the Simon Sinek video, and your experiences in real life matters.
  3. Which function do you think he would say is most important?  Why?

In responses to your classmates, make connections between the functions of management and the management roles discussed in your reading (leadership, informational, and decision-making).  If applicable, relate any real-world experiences.

*Be sure to familiarize yourself with the weekly Discussion Board expectations and rubric.
