There are four major parts that are considered the make-up of an organization and how successful its management will be. These four parts consist of the challenges of management, the planning and decision making, organizing and managing human resources, and the ability of managers to lead and motivate their employees.
Like every other person in the world, managers face numerous challenges on a daily basis. The only difference is the impact of their decision as opposed to ours. Managers decisions impact numerous people and sometimes countries, this carries a little bit more weight than our decision which may only impact a few people.
So we ask ourselves, what is management? and what exactly does a manager do? To answer these questions we must first have a definition of management and how it relates to managers. Management is defined as the process of working with and through others to achieve organizational objectives in a rapidly changing environment. With this definition now established, lets examine it more thoroughly. Managers deal with people on a daily basis and therefore need to be able to work well with others. Let's say for instance a manager lacks the ability to work well with others. This will have a major impact on the relationship not only between the manager and the employee, but it might cause the company morale to diminish because of the manager's inability to work well with the company. If this does occur, the company might end up failing or in the worst cases, going belly up because of a hostile work environment. This is where the manager must decide what he or she must do to create a feasible work environment that will be suitable for his or her employees. If a manager is able to do this, they will in essence create a good environment with the work force and this will ultimately lead to success for the company, as well as the manager. If the workers on the floor are unable to relate to, or go to the manager with a problem there can be a lack of confidence among the employees.
