IF PLANNING IS SO CRUCIAL, WHY DO SOME MANAGERS CHOOSE NOT TO DO IT

5. If planning is so crucial, why do some managers choose not to do it? What would you tell these managers? Managers may choose not to devote time to planning because they do not know how to plan or feel that they do not have the necessary time. Others may say that planning is a waste of time, that the future is going to happen whether or not they plan. However, these reasons do not discount the importance of planning. Every manager should engage in planning.
