Management is the art of getting things done through
other people. Managers directly
support and facilitate the work efforts of other people
in organizations. Management
involves planning, organizing, leading and
controlling activities to attain the goals of the
organization, and a key aspect of managerial work is
accountability to higher levels for performance
results.
High-performing managers are good at
building working relationships with others, helping
others develop their skills, fostering teamwork, and
otherwise creating a work environment that is
satisfying for employees and oriented toward pursuit of
the organization's goals. In organizations today,
the best managers are usually known more for supporting
than for order-giving, and the words "coordinator,"
"coach," and "team leader" are heard as often as
"supervisor" or "manager."
