1. There is no plan when you are free, but you work hard when you are busy.

2. Everything will be successful if it is foreseen, otherwise it will be ruined.

3. You usually do things without a plan, and you don’t have a clue when you are in an emergency

4. When you are strategizing, you can win thousands of miles away

7. The formulation of plans is more important than the plan itself. ——Dale McConkey

Like products or services, plans must themselves be managed and shaped if they are to be used by managers as a tool for making strategic decisions. ——Robert Lenz

Plans often die before they are implemented, either because expectations are too high or because investment is too little. ——T.J. Cartwright

Although a certain plan may be chosen because it is the most realistic...the other major alternatives should not be forgotten. They can be good workarounds. ——Dale McConkey

Hume

No matter what kind of talent a person is endowed with, if he does not know that he has this talent and does not form a plan suitable for his talent, That talent was completely useless to him.

Dale Carnegie

A person cannot live without life, and the content of life cannot make it meaningless. Before you do something or say a word, no matter how big or small it is or how much you say, you must first have a plan. First, ask yourself whether there is any meaning in doing this thing or saying this sentence. If you can do this, you will begin to lay the foundation for struggle.

Make a plan. What we do today is for us to have a better tomorrow. The future belongs to those who make the tough decisions today. ——Eaton Company

There is also the most familiar: if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools

Plan is like a bridge, connecting where we are now and what you want Place to go. Likewise, planning is the bridge between goals and objectives, and the bridge between goals and actions. Without a plan, achieving your goals can often be an empty promise. Planning is very important in life. If you fail in planning, you are destined to fail in execution. A life without a plan is messy, seemingly busy but empty.

l Plans are the umbrella for action

The future is not reality, and things in the future are rarely certain. Just like sailing, you don't know if there will be a storm while sailing. Even weather forecasts sometimes make mistakes. The uncertainty of the future and changes in various conditions make planning even more important. How can you see it?

Some people say that the situation will always change anyway, and the future is difficult to determine. What is the use of making plans now? Isn’t it a waste of effort? This is a mediocre view. Without a plan, once the situation changes and you are caught off guard, you will definitely fail.

During the planning process, it is necessary to make some preliminary predictions about the future and analyze what things may happen and what things may change. After making accurate predictions, develop a plan of action. Once changes occur in the future, we can deal with them calmly. If you are a stock investor, you must make some analysis of the stock market, which stocks may rise and which stocks may fall. If they rise, how much should I buy? If they fall, how much should I sell. As long as you make some plans, you can control it freely and make steady profits.

Even if all future situations are certain, you still have to plan. You must choose the best way to accomplish a certain goal, making your behavior more efficient and achieving your goal more beneficial. Once the situation is determined, it does not mean that you have only one way to go. You will often be faced with multiple choices. For example, if you are traveling from Shanghai to Beijing, the weather conditions have not changed, and the bus tickets, train tickets, and air tickets have not changed. Which mode of transportation do you choose? Flying takes a short time but is too expensive; cars and trains are slower but cheaper. Whether you need time or price, these must be carefully considered and planned.

From an economic point of view, people always pursue utility maximization, which means that every penny spent is worthwhile, and the greater the utility, the better. For this purpose, it is even more necessary to formulate a plan.

l Plan to save your costs and expenses

Any financial expert must also be a person with a plan. Corporate accountants perform cost accounting and provide balance sheets, profit and loss statements, etc., which become the basis for managers to plan. It is important to secure every expenditure in a planned manner. Managers without plans are often in a tight situation, spending where they shouldn't and not spending where they should.

The head of a family must be a well-planned person, and the various expenses of the family must be calculated carefully, and do not spend all the money in a moment of enthusiasm, and then rely on debt to finance the rest of the day.

As long as everything is within the scope of the plan, it will be done with ease. In addition, in the process of achieving goals, various losses caused by lack of planning cannot be ignored, such as valuable time and other direct economic losses.

l Don’t say you don’t have time to plan

The fast pace of modern life has made people walk at least twice as fast as before. During the day, you may be rushing to work, or shuttling between various departments of the unit, or sitting at the computer to understand the external market, or processing a lot of documents and materials, or answering the phone that is never quiet...busy and stressful work Leaves you no time to plan. In the evening, return home and prepare dinner. After dinner, spend some rare leisure time with your family on the sofa, and then drag your tired body to wash up and go to bed.

A happy and warm family life makes you reluctant to spend time making plans. After finally making it to the weekend, I took my family to go shopping and enjoy the city life; or I went out for an outing to relax and get some fresh air. Time flew by quickly, and there was still no time.

Busy work, heavy pressure and responsibilities make life disorganized, without a clue, everything starts over and over again, monotonous and boring. Such a life will never be exciting. Do you want to change? If you set aside just a little time to plan, your life will change dramatically.

A planned life can be stressful but orderly; a planned work can be fulfilling and efficient even if it is busy; a planned life can be calm even if it is difficult. Planning makes your thinking clear and can create twice the result with half the effort.

Planning is necessary for everyone, don’t say you don’t have time to plan. If you change your lifestyle and set aside time for planning, you will not only gain time to work, but also to reunite with your family. Time, planning time, etc. The effectiveness of such a virtuous cycle will surprise you. If you don’t believe it, give it a try.

9. Plan management directly affects the development direction of the enterprise. Reasonable planning will bring higher and broader expansion capabilities and potential to the development of the enterprise

10. Set goals, make plans, and take a lot of actions. ——Chen Anzhi

11. Management control work is to ensure that practical activities conform to the plan. ——Goetz

12. Planning, organization, and control are the three functions of management, and planning comes first in management work. A work must first have a plan before there will be subsequent organization and control. Work without a plan is not called management work.

13. 1. Principles of plan formulation

The formulation of plans follows the SMART principle.

(1) Specific

For large plans, it is necessary to accurately analyze the environment and influencing factors during the execution process in stages and steps, and make careful countermeasures and actions plan. A thorough and specific plan can reduce communication costs, interference, and confusion during execution. Even for small work projects, details cannot be ignored in the plan. For example, a meeting needs to focus on the theme, from the selection and layout of the meeting venue, the arrangement of the meeting agenda, the advance notification of the meeting speaker, the preparation and review of the speech draft, the notification of participants, accommodation and catering arrangements for participants, etc. Wait for the plan to be concrete and implement it to the executor.

(2) Measurable

The stage goals and results of the plan must be measurable, so that the executors can understand and control the work progress, inspection, and tracking assessment.

(3) Agreed

All plans are determined by certain purposes and goals. The goal is the end point, and the plan is to design the process that must be passed to reach the end point.

(4) Achievable

The plan must be achievable and operable. Unrealistic plans not only waste the time and energy spent on planning, but also cause employees to Complaints affect execution, fail to achieve the purpose, and are just empty words.

(5) Time-limited

The enterprise has set goals according to its own development, and our work must be completed around this goal within the specified time limit. The plan should concretely reflect the progress of the work so that the task can be completed within the expected time.

The above are the principles for formulating the content of the plan. As an expression of the plan, it should be concise. In actual work, when middle-level leaders make work plans and assign work tasks, they should not be eloquent and quote from other sources, failing to grasp the theme, which will affect the execution of the work. A concise, clear and specific work plan can allow employees to grasp the key points of their work and carry out their work.

2. Elements of planning

To express something clearly, some elements must be clarified. I remember that when I was studying composition, I emphasized the need to clearly express the time, place, people, and the cause, process, and result of the event. The same is true for plan formulation, which also needs to be expressed in some elements, which can be summarized as 5w2h.

5w: what, who, when, where, why

what: what the plan refers to do or accomplish; clarify the work tasks;

who : Who and who will execute the plan; clarify the person responsible for the work task;

when: when and to what extent it will be executed; clarify the progress of the work task;

where: where it will be carried out Work; clarify the location and area where the work is carried out;

why: why it is necessary to do this; clarify the cause and motivation of the work;

2h: how, how many

how: how to carry out the work; clarify the working methods;

how many: how much work is completed; clarify the workload.

Assigning work tasks or making a work plan should have the above elements, and it should be a basically complete plan.

3. Plan decomposition and refinement

If we undertake a specific task, we need to develop an activity checklist and planning worksheet for this task, just like our project schedule. Each checklist should include all the steps that may be required for this large task. These checklists and worksheets will help us identify and evaluate the workload associated with large tasks that must be handled. Breaking large tasks into smaller tasks helps us estimate them more accurately, exposes work activities that you might not have thought of otherwise, and ensures more accurate and detailed status tracking.

4. Unification of plan makers and executors

The task assignment or plan setting given by the supervisor to employees is an agreement at work, which requires plan makers and executors Only when the participants reach a complete understanding of the plan and form a behavioral contract can they ensure consistent actions, enable the smooth execution of the plan, and achieve work goals. Otherwise, if the planner adopts an arbitrary and coercive attitude when setting the plan or the executor has doubts about the plan and does not agree with the plan, this will greatly affect work enthusiasm. Therefore, plans, formulators and executors should be unified. Only by mutual recognition between plan makers and executors can the same goals be better achieved.

5. Characteristics of plans

(1) Preliminary and guiding nature of plans:

Planning, organization and control are the three functions of management. As a plan, management comes first. A work must first have a plan before there will be subsequent organization and control. Work without a plan is not called management work.

During the expansion training, as the captain of the South Tennis Wolves, in the previous day's training, the two team projects were not done very well, because I did not organize everyone well to make plans, and did not use everyone's wisdom. We were so concentrated that we couldn't control the situation during the activity. Everyone was an organizer and everyone had a plan. We spent the time in a burst of noise, and there was no specific plan, and we didn't even do it very well, but During the activity on the second day, we held a meeting to sum up our experience and decided that at the beginning of the activity everyone should think about the problem and formulate plans and plans as quickly as possible. In the end, each project was completed and completed well, so only with a plan can we There are control standards and organizational purposes. Plans are proactive in management work, and at the same time, they are guiding in the execution and control of management work.

(2) Feasibility of the plan

The procedure of the plan is: goal - feasibility study - plan - decision-making. When we were doing a group of blind people to compile a square with the largest area, the feasibility of our team's plan was greatly tested. We didn't know where to start at home or what to do next. Plans must also be targeted and made to complete a certain task or achieve a certain goal. The completed goals must be feasible. Based on the established goals after research, an implementation plan should be proposed and leadership decisions should be made. In this way, the plan formulated after decision-making forms our plan. A plan is a work plan formed after comprehensive consideration of various factors. Once the plan is developed, it should be a feasible course of action. An unworkable plan is a failed plan. As a middle-level manager of an enterprise, it is very important for us to make plans and make decisions for our leaders.

(3) Principles and flexibility of plans

Since we spend time, manpower, material resources, and financial resources to formulate plans, after the plan is formulated, it must play a role in the work regulatory effect. We must follow the plan and complete our work within the scope of the plan. Here, the plan is principled and cannot be changed or destroyed at will. Because for an organization, everyone is working step by step according to the plan. If someone or a certain aspect is disrupted, it may affect the achievement of the entire plan. However, plans are not rigid and unchangeable. During the execution of the plan, due to changes in some relevant factors when formulating the plan, the execution of the plan or our expected results will change. At this time, we must adjust the plan in a timely manner to make the plan more realistic. More feasible. During the demining activities, after our team explored all the roads ahead, we found that there was no way to go. We promptly changed the plan and walked from the direction of the red zone. It really worked. Facts have proved that it was right to change the plan in time. , so planning should be combined with process improvement.

6. The importance of plan management

(1) Clear goals and inspire fighting spirit

People often say that if a person has no hope, there will be no hope. Courage; if there is no goal, there will be no motivation. The plan contains exactly the hopes and goals of a person or a team. Although this kind of goals and hopes are not decorated and described too much in the plan, the goals are excellent and actually contain them. With a bright prospect and a bright future. And the inspiring power of this prospect and future to a person or a team is immeasurable.

(2) Step by step, improve efficiency

Efficiency refers to the amount of things done per unit of time. If you want to improve your study efficiency, you must do as much as possible in the shortest possible time. To do this, we must try to reduce hesitation time, detours, wasted effort, and energy waste. A scientific and thorough plan has exactly these functions: what to do and how much to do are all included in the plan, which is conducive to entering actual combat as soon as possible without waiting and hesitating. What to do first and what to do later. The specific steps are included in the plan, which can effectively avoid detours; what method to use for a certain step and what measures to take for a certain problem are all considered repeatedly in advance, and generally no big mistakes will be made. , can also effectively avoid the waste of energy and increase the quantity and quality of learning work. Taken together, these conditions will lead to an improvement in learning efficiency.

Some students who usually have no plans will inevitably work hard day and night before the exam, resulting in overburden and the death of a large number of brain cells. Not only will their learning efficiency not be improved, but they will also seriously damage their health. On the first day of this expansion training, our team spent too much time in formulating the plan, which was inefficient and even exceeded the time when completing the project.

(3) Control life and enhance abilities

People always use their past experiences to guide their future lives. Planning considers the future, but it is based on the "past". At the same time, a good plan must also take into account the current reality and personal subjective conditions. In the recall of "past" experiences, in the investigation of the current objective situation, and in the analysis of personal subjective conditions, it not only improves self-understanding Ability, and the ability to understand the objective world will also be exercised and improved. For example, as a middle-level cadre of an enterprise, you have more exposure to and engagement in planning practices, so your ability to live, work, and understand problems are generally higher.

(4) Develop good study and work habits and excellent study and work quality

Human resources experts tell us that it usually takes about three weeks to develop a habit. Regular and continuous exercise and training. Using planned study work, the continuity of the plan can be as short as one semester or as long as one academic year. As long as you can study and work according to the plan within the first 21 days of executing the plan, a good study and work habit may become a conscious action. As a result, the enthusiasm and initiative in learning and work are also enhanced. In actual study and work life, you will encounter some unexpected situations that impact your study and work plan, which will also cause conflicts between the plan and reality. At this time, you can adjust the day's study and work plan, but sometimes it cannot be adjusted. , we must work hard to overcome difficulties and ensure the implementation of the plan. For example, there are wonderful movies showing in the cinema these days, or an interesting novel in your hand, etc. At this time, you must eliminate interference and various temptations, and study and work conscientiously as planned. In this process, the will and quality are tested and tempered, and good will and quality are formed and developed.

In short, the significance of planning is extraordinary: it can give you courage, efficiency, and ability, prompting you to make rapid progress and become successful as soon as possible. If you are willing to cultivate yourself into an outstanding talent, you should never relax in planning. The plan for a year begins in spring, and the plan for a day begins in the morning. "To achieve something in a year depends on the plan at the beginning of the year, and to achieve the goal in a day depends on the plan at the beginning of the day. A common saying shows the importance of planning. I listened to a class by a management expert, and he said in the class "The plan for next year is at the end of the year, and the plan for tomorrow is tonight." He listed the plan one step ahead and emphasized the importance of "being one step ahead" and "being foresighted" in the fierce competition. Today, "first" is important. Although I understand that his modification of the common saying is a bit sensational and eye-catching, it is practical in explaining the importance and advance of the plan, as well as the actual formulation of the company's work plan. Meaning. Some people think that spending time writing a plan affects productivity, but I don't think so. The hard part is not writing the plan, the hard part is doing the planning - thinking, communicating, weighing, communicating, asking questions and listening to you. Used to analyze the time it takes to solve problems, it will reduce the surprises brought to you at work

4. Elements of planning: work tasks, work breakdown, workload, progress, personnel, resources

5. Characteristics of planned work: taking the initiative

The work is expected, the intensity is controllable and in a stable state

Through the analysis and control of plan execution, comprehensive Efficiency continues to improve, and overall control continues to strengthen

Stability of personnel is strong, work continuity is strong

Relevant resources are guaranteed, project success rate is high, and morale is high

1. Why not make plans; why make plans

4. Regardless of the size of any business activity of an enterprise, the presence or absence of "plans" will produce completely different business results.

As long as there is a "plan" for any business activity, it means that the business activities of the enterprise have been scientifically predicted, comprehensively analyzed, and systematically planned before execution, and deviations that may occur during the execution of the plan have been formulated. Corresponding measures have been taken to ensure that the results of business activities are predictable and controllable.

On the contrary, unplanned business activities will inevitably be blind and blind, and the results of its business activities will be unpredictable and uncontrollable, so the business operation of this enterprise will inevitably fail.

Wang Lan graduated from a vocational college majoring in business management. With her solid writing skills and high overall quality, she was successfully hired by a company to work as an administrative clerk.

The first thing Wang Lan does when she walks into the office every day is to take out a notebook, make a plan for the day's work, and mark the back of the work according to its importance and time progression. . She briefly wrote down the key words for each task that needed attention to remind herself not to make any omissions.

This morning, the general manager called Wang Lan to the office and laid out her day's work tasks: At ten o'clock in the morning, he was going to participate in a negotiation to discuss contract matters with customers, and asked Wang Lan to Draw up a contract; at noon, he will attend the opening ceremony of the branch and let Wang Lan write a speech; at three o'clock in the afternoon, he will go to a city in the south to attend an exhibition and let Wang Lan book a flight ticket.

After receiving the work assignment, Wang Lan immediately straightened out her thoughts, called immediately to book an afternoon ticket, and then coordinated with various departments to discuss the relevant terms of the contract. After sending the written contract to the general manager for review, she began to write the noon speech. With her good professionalism, she finished it in only 40 minutes. At this time, the general manager just finished revising the contract and began to review the speech. After the general manager finished reviewing it, Wang Lan carefully checked the contract and the speech. Later, the general manager met with the customer with the contract and resignation letter. At one o'clock in the afternoon, the reserved flight ticket was delivered to the company. Wang Lan called the general manager's driver and asked him to pick up the ticket. Although the work seemed complicated, Wang Lan had clear ideas, handled it in an orderly manner, and completed every task very satisfactorily.

At the end of this year, the company's HR manager found another job, and Wang Lan was promoted to the new HR manager, achieving a leap in the workplace.

Comments: You must learn to make overall plans at work. What things are more important should be dealt with in advance. What things are not so urgent, you can take it easy first. You must prioritize and grasp the key points. Keeping work records is also Wang Lan's working method. She has clear ideas and good results, and it is natural that she will be promoted in the end.
