Which management activity involves assigning people to roles and delegating tasks within a team?

• A. Planning
• B. Staffing
• C. Coordinating
• D. Organizing

Answer: (D)

Assigning people to roles and delegating tasks within a team is organizing. This step structures how work will be done by designating who does what, who reports to whom, and who has the authority to make decisions within their tasks. It creates a clear division of labor and a chain of command, which helps the plan be put into action smoothly. Planning sets goals and steps to reach them, staffing brings the right people into roles, and coordinating focuses on aligning activities across people and tasks. Organizing turns those plans into a workable framework by arranging resources and responsibilities.
