Over the years of corporate and government
administration, there has been a common
foundation on which any organization or
government sustains.
The foundation being 'Managers'
Managers are needed for management or
simply put as the organization and
coordination of the activities of a business in
order to achieve defined objectives.
Managers are needed for successful
functioning of any organization.
3. Definition of manager
An individual who is in charge of a certain group
of tasks, or a certain subset of a company. A
manager often has a staff of people who report
to him or her.
5. Management also goes hand in hand with leadership
But there is a basic distinction as to know what makes a manager different
from a leader.
The distinction being a Manager manages task, while a Leader leads
people.
In leadership, one tries to get the people in a group or an organization to
understand an overall vision, and inspire them to join forces and work
together towards the accomplishment of the vision so as to meet the
defined targets and goals.
Management, on the other hand, refers to administering tasks and
ensuring that day-to-day occurrences are going according to plan.
