Planning is a key function of management that involves setting objectives and determining how to achieve them. There are three levels of planning:
1) Strategic planning focuses on long-term goals over three to five years and establishes an organization's mission, goals, and alignment of short-term goals.
2) Tactical planning outlines specific actions and tasks to address problems and achieve strategic goals.
3) Operational planning encompasses day-to-day standards and tasks like work schedules and policies that execute tactical plans.
Strategic planning is an organization's process to define its strategy and direction. It deals with questions like what the organization does, for whom, and how it excels. The key components are vision, mission, values, and strategy. Vision outlines the organization's ideal future state. Mission defines the organization's fundamental purpose. Values are shared beliefs that drive culture and priorities. Strategy is the combination of goals and policies to achieve the vision. There are three main types of plans in organizations: operational plans define department and individual goals, tactical plans support strategic plans on a shorter time frame, and strategic plans outline steps for the entire organization's goals over multiple years.
Here are the key points about transformational leadership:
- Transformational leaders inspire and motivate followers through their charisma, passion and vision. They energize followers to achieve extraordinary outcomes.
- They focus on developing followers to their fullest potential by acting as coaches and mentors. They treat each follower as an individual and understand their strengths, weaknesses, needs, and motivations.
- They stimulate followers intellectually and get them to look at problems from new perspectives. They encourage creativity and innovation.
- They articulate an appealing vision of the future that inspires enthusiasm and commitment. The vision provides meaning and challenges to the work of followers.
- They build trust and respect among followers through their integrity,
Managers at different levels engage in planning for different timeframes and scopes. Upper-level managers plan strategies for the long-term future of the entire organization, while lower-level managers plan for their subunits in the shorter term. There are four basic steps to planning: establishing goals, defining the current situation, identifying aids and barriers, and developing action plans. Planning involves two main types of plans - strategic plans that implement the organization's mission, and operational plans that provide details on accomplishing strategic plans. Effective planning is linked to controlling by comparing actual results to planned budgets, programs, and standards.
This document discusses planning in organizations. It defines planning as defining goals, strategies, and coordinating activities to achieve goals. Planning provides direction, reduces uncertainty, establishes goals, and minimizes waste. There are different types of goals like financial, strategic, stated, and real goals. Approaches to goal setting include traditional top-down and MBO which involves collaborative goal setting. Plans outline how to achieve goals and come in forms like strategic, operational, short-term, long-term, specific, directional, single-use, and standing plans. Environmental uncertainty, organizational level, and future commitments impact planning.

02. Organizational Goals, Planning & Decision Making (2021).pptxGoglePixl
The document discusses organizational goals, planning, and decision making. It defines goals as measurable end results to be achieved within a timeframe. Goals provide guidance, motivation, and a means of evaluation. Vision and mission statements describe an organization's purpose and direction. Planning involves setting goals by level (strategic, tactical, operational), area, and timeframe. Barriers to planning like improper goals must be overcome. Decision making requires choosing between alternatives, and styles include autocratic, democratic, laissez-faire, consensus, and contingency approaches.
Management involves planning, organizing, leading, and controlling organizational resources to achieve goals. The document outlines the five main management functions: planning, organizing, staffing, controlling, and leading. Planning involves setting objectives and determining how to achieve them. Organizing groups people into departments based on their tasks. Staffing acquires and develops employees. Controlling evaluates performance against plans and takes corrective actions. Leading provides guidance and motivation to employees.

- Two US Navy ships, the destroyer Stout and cruiser Chosin, recently failed their INSURV inspections and were deemed "unfit for sustained combat operations." The inspections uncovered widespread deficiencies, including inoperable weapons systems, corrosion, and failed lifesaving equipment.
- The poor results from the inspections of the two advanced Aegis-class ships indicated a broader problem in standards and maintenance across the surface fleet. Issues included a lack of preventative maintenance and oversight from leadership.
- Experts said responsibility lay with crews for not properly maintaining equipment, but also with leadership for not ensuring standards were met and problems
CVN70 Case Study (Decision Making) CIT Leadership SeminarGlenn Mallo
- A hospital has a limited kidney machine that can sustain the lives of 5 people. A committee must choose 2 of 5 candidates to use it.
- The candidates are: Alfred (42), a scientist; Bill (27), an auto mechanic; Cora (30) a homemaker with 5 kids; David (19), a student; and Edna (34), a career woman.
- A psychological evaluation provides more context: Alfred is brilliant but disturbed; Bill is devoted to his family but his career is limited; Cora is extremely religious but resigned to death; David is bright but risks his future; and Edna is self-contained and offered her spot to someone else.
TSC Great Lakes CIT Case Study (Do more with less - Wallenberg effect)Glenn Mallo
Raoul Wallenberg was a Swedish diplomat who saved tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews from the Holocaust during World War 2. In 1944, he established safe houses and issued fake passports designating people as Swedish citizens to protect them from deportation by Nazis. He boldly intervened directly by boarding trains to Auschwitz and redirecting death marches. Through courage and conviction, he inspired hope and helped many escape who never directly encountered him. Though facing immense danger, he refused to stand by as innocent people suffered. Wallenberg emerged as a symbol of compassionate leadership in confronting humanity's darkest evils.
1) The story describes an interaction between a ship's captain and executive officer regarding the uniforms of sailors on sentry duty. The captain wanted sailors to wear pea coats instead of foul weather jackets, but this order was misinterpreted down the chain of command.
2) Sailors complained that the "damn exec" was responsible for changes like wearing pea coats and polishing brightwork, showing a breakdown in leadership.
3) The captain overheard these complaints and called the officers together, telling a story from his experience to illustrate the importance of direct leadership instead of passing along orders while citing their originator.
Senior Chief Flowers reported to her new command after the evaluation period had ended, meaning she had no previous evaluation. The following year, she believed her performance exceeded her peers who had received high evaluations previously. However, at the evaluation boards, while ranked number 1 by her peers, her reporting senior only gave her the number 1 promotable rating, not the highest rating. Shocked, Senior Chief Flowers loudly complained about the evaluation to anyone who would listen.
Relevance of Midway (CVN70CMC corner 1Jun07)Glenn Mallo
The CMC Corner discusses the 65th anniversary of the Battle of Midway and its significance. It highlights how the battle showed the importance of teamwork and grit among sailors. It draws parallels between the sailors who fought in World War II and those serving today, honoring their courage. For the crew of the USS Carl Vinson, their mission to restore the ship echoes the efforts of sailors after the Battle of Midway who rapidly repaired carrier damage. The spirit of the sailors at Midway inspires the crew to adapt to current challenges and deliver results through confidence in their training.

This document provides guidance on the Navy's performance evaluation system. It revises how physical fitness assessment results are documented and cancels the previous instruction. The enclosure provides an overview of performance counseling policies and procedures. Counseling is required at the midpoint and end of each evaluation period and involves discussing performance using the evaluation form as a worksheet. The objectives are to identify strengths and weaknesses, address problems, and set goals for improvement before the next evaluation. Suggestions are provided for preparing for and conducting counseling sessions.
This document provides a summary of the requirements for senior and master chief petty officers as outlined in NAVEDTRA 12048. It covers topics such as military requirements, training command manuals, distribution statements, and purchasing instructions for non-federal government personnel wanting a copy. The document was prepared in 1991 by QMCS(SW) Michael N. Scherck and provides guidance on the roles and responsibilities of more experienced petty officers.
Navy Chiefs Lead, Develop, Communicate, SupportGlenn Mallo
This document outlines the terminal learning objectives for Chief Petty Officers after completing indoctrination training. It details four core competencies: 1) leading sailors and enabling mission accomplishment, 2) developing enlisted and junior officers, 3) communicating Navy core values and information, and 4) supporting the chain of command and fellow Chiefs. For each competency, specific objectives are listed that the new Chief Petty Officer will be able to demonstrate after training, such as constructing training regimens, employing leadership tools, and explaining the role of work centers in accomplishing the Navy's mission.
This document provides an overview of training resources for Chief Petty Officer (CPO) leadership fundamentals. It lists several Navy publications that cover topics such as leadership styles, goal setting, counseling, performance evaluations, and problem solving. It also mentions responsibilities of division officers and leading chief petty officers. The document emphasizes that leadership training is an ongoing process throughout one's career in the Navy Leadership Continuum program. This program includes mandatory courses at various career milestones to develop skills in values, leadership responsibilities, and total quality leadership.

Clear the Way. Move the Fleet. Save the Day. (Blackhawks CMC update 130324)Glenn Mallo
The document is a note from the skipper of the Blackhawks congratulating the crew on their hard work and progress. Over the past two weeks they completed 41 flight events and flew 114 hours, with one day of 41.5 hours flown. If they fly 140 hours next week between Norfolk and Bahrain they will achieve their quarterly flight hour goal of 778 hours for the first time since June 2012. The skipper notes the crew is qualifying pilots and crews at a fantastic rate while gaining valuable experience, and that the Blackhawks crew in Bahrain has 17 dedicated runners who go on long runs after hard work days.
This document provides an update from the skipper of the BLACKHAWKS squadron on their recent flying activities and accomplishments. It summarizes that they had a successful day of flying with four Blackhawk aircraft completing seven missions totaling 29.4 flight hours.

DETERMINING WORK
REQUIREMENTS AND
SETTING PRIORITIES
One of the most difficult and often overlooked
jobs of the chief petty officer is to determine
divisional work requirements and priorities. You
will find the work requirements in your division’s
strategic plans, rules and regulations, and single-
use plans. Once you have determined the require-
ments, you must determine the tasks needed to
complete them. Then you will set priorities based
on the order in which the division needs to
complete each task.
Determining Work Requirements
To determine work requirements, you need a
starting point to establish what your division is
presently accomplishing (the real situation) in
relation to what the division should be accom-
plishing (the ideal situation).
The work requirements your division should
be accomplishing are outlined in your command’s
strategic, standing, and single-use plans. You
should compare these work requirements to what
your division is currently accomplishing. You may
find your division is not following the work Figure 3-2.-Real-ideal model.
