Planning

 Planning represents the technique of thinking about the tasks necessary to achieve a specified objective. Anticipation, the basic capability for cognitive time travel, is the foundation for planning. Forethought, or the ability to plan beyond, is believed to have been a driving force in human evolution (Elbanna & Elsharnouby, 2018). Planning is an essential aspect in healthcare as through planning health organizations and health stakeholders are able to achieve the specific goals required to run the organization successfully. In the current organization I work for as a health worker, it is essential to note that planning is required in the following main functions.

The first argument for the importance of planning in the workplace is to develop clarity and increase communication. Effective planning in healthcare management may aid in the creation of clarity and improved communication within an organization. The strategic plan should cover the most pressing concerns, as well as the organization's vision and goals, as well as the measures necessary to achieve them. Employees and stakeholders will have more trust and confidence in the company. secondly, planning is essential for improvement of employee engagement and motivation. Each employee wishes to be acknowledged and heard. Recognition from their superiors may have a significant influence on their productivity, engagement, and safety management. Every employee wishes to be given the authority to make decisions that will benefit the company. This also encourages them to go above and beyond the job description or performance evaluation's minimal acceptable requirements. Employees will be unmotivated to develop themselves if their employer has a clear goal and a well-executed game plan. Lastly, planning is essential for the development of transformational authority and leadership. Transformational leadership is a style of management that motivates workers to work more and achieve greater results. It contains strategies that have been recognized in the field of organizational behavior. Transformational leaders have the ability to properly express their organization's goal, believe in their staff, and achieve high levels of performance. Strategic management requires one to help the staff understand how their positions may contribute to the organization's purpose and vision.
