Question

'An effort to control everything may end up in controlling nothing'. Explain.

Answer 1

If a manager tries to control everything, he may end up by controlling nothing. To make control effective and economical, it must focus attention on factors critical to performance.
E.g.: In a large organisation, keeping a close check on each and every activity will be very time to consume and expensive. Therefore, managers should pay serious attention to only such cases, which are critical to success, i.e. KRAs.
