This book argues that for an administrator to succeed, it is vital to perform three sequential yet distinct functions: planning, giving orders, and supervision. The author posits that planning is the most important element of the three. To underscore this assertion, the author draws parallels between the administrative challenges faced by leaders in business and military commanders, such as Napoleon. The book demonstrates how Napoleonās success stemmed from his meticulous planning rather than his ability to closely supervise his troops. The book urges readers to prioritize planning, claiming that supervision is best left as a tertiary function to ensure an administratorās focus remains on higher-level activities that have a greater impact on an organizationās success.
