Leaders must clearly understand and take deliberate steps to create, meet, and exceed their AIM™ (aim, implementation, and management) expectations. Words should be valued for their actual meanings and used wisely and as intended.
Knowing the difference between an organizer and a planner is critical.
Based on the Small Business Chronicle, “planning entails making decisions while organizing entails putting those decisions into action.”
Grasping the unique functions of a planner and an organizer is crucial to effective leadership. An organizer, as per the Cambridge Dictionary, is an individual or a team entrusted with planning and arranging an event or activity; someone who can meticulously plan things. On the other hand, a planner determines how something will be executed in the future. The key distinction lies in that an organizer plans things that already exist, while a planner plans things that aspire to exist. This understanding empowers leaders to delineate their roles and obligations more effectively, enhancing their planning and organizing capabilities.
When organizing a party, the organizer knows who’s coming, and the menu. As the organizer, you must ensure that everything comes together seamlessly. On the other hand, a planner needs to proactively seek out guests and secure funding for food and entertainment through meticulous planning and flawless execution.
Planners have a knack for seeing the big picture while covering the details, and organizers ensure that preplans are executed without hiccups. However, in life, there is always more to everything, which holds true in differentiating between a planner and organizer. Embracing this reality can lead to deeper understanding and richer planning experiences.
