DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
| 1: | Do you agree that when supervisors prepare their own written plans (with little or no pressure from management), they are more likely to translate the plan into motivating goals? |
| 2: | In what ways will an organized plan affect the productivity of your employees? |
| 3: | How might you involve your employees in the planning and organization of a department plan? What affect does participation in planning have on motivation? |
| 4: | Could a supervisor “overplan”? That is, be too concerned about what is to be done when, by whom, and completed on a certain date? What affect could overplanning have on employees' productivity? Why? |
