Plan

Strategic planning sets a vision for a company and then realizes that vision through small, achievable goals. Managers help set goals, decide what actions need to be taken by employees, and help employees achieve those goals.

Analyze in detail.
Define the challenge
Plan the solution actions
Break it down into time and money
Decide who will do the project (employees, internal and external contractors)
Plan what will be done once the project was completed (gratitude gifts, employee rewards and similar)
Document the plan in CRM

Organise

Create structures to support or accomplish the plan. Decide on how to move through a project, how to move toward deadlines and/or how to measure milestones. Being organised up front minimises problems and helps the project run smoothly.

Break the big picture into proper goals and tasks (CRM)
Communicate the plan with the allocated employee/s and/or contractors
Communicate your plan with the Employer and adjust accordingly (systems and people)
Create calendar events and assign jobs to people on their schedule

Lead

The best managers are typically inspirational and effective leaders. They set the tone for their areas by demonstrating—through their actions—norms for staff behaviour. Action and direction must be in balance - not one stronger than the other.

Effective leaders lead by example as much as by direction. Motivating others to action and productivity is a crucial element of effective leadership.
Clear communication of goals and expectations is vital - this was set when jobs were organised and people allocated, but furthermore, throughout the project, this must be communicated.
Good leaders seek input from all stakeholders and recognize the contributions of other team members, and they give credit where credit is due.
Good leaders draw consensus on group plans whenever feasible, and they delegate strategically to the best-qualified staff.

Control

Respectfully, take charge and delegate (tell people what to do), give orders, and make decisions.

Use planning and foresight, and comprehension of the big picture to make sure a project is on time and on budget. Oversight is the maintenance phase of management.

Tick achieved tasks
Tick and celebrate achieved goals
Check that time worked is accurate re: employee / contractor and re: allocated hours according to the plan (correct what needs correcting)
Go over the project plan again and again and again
Delegate work
Push to finish the project
Think ahead of time - don’t get caught
