Administration, conversation, inspiration, and authority are the elements of "directing" mentioned in the case.

Explanation:

1) The elements of "directing" as a function of management mentioned in the above paragraph are as follows:

• Administration: "He personally oversees the method followed by the chefs for preparation of each dish." In directing, the administration is used to keep a check on the activities.
• Conversation: "He is very clear and specific in issuing instructions to his subordinates in order to ensure the smooth working of the department." In directing, the conversation is necessary for mutual understanding between subordinates and supervisors.
• Inspiration: "He misses no opportunity to praise his subordinates for their good work." Without inspiration, subordinates might lose their active will to work.

• Authority: "He provides constant guidance to them in order to improve upon its taste and presentation and also encourages them to innovate and be more creative in their work." In directing, Authority is required to lead the workers through the whole process without distraction.

2) Two points that highlight the importance of directing as a function of management are as follows:

• It provides balance and stability: Directing helps satisfy and make a balance between individual and organizational needs by ensuring that the subordinates aim for individual goals while fulfilling the organization's goal.
• It helps improve efficiency: Directing helps managers to make sure that the employees are contributing to their best effort for the fulfillment of the organizational goals.
