This document discusses how to be an efficient and effective manager. It lists key resources as people, equipment, money, information, and time. The best managers are both efficient, by not wasting these resources, and effective, by focusing on the right things and using resources productively. Being both efficient and effective allows a manager to achieve organizational goals by working with people in the most optimized way.
