Management also includes recording and storing facts and information for later use or for others within the organization.
Management functions are not limited to managers and supervisors. Every member of the organization has some management and reporting functions as part of their job.
Management is an organizational function, like sales, marketing or finance.
It doesn't necessarily mean managing people.
We can manage ourselves or the material assigned to us at work. If you managed a project very well on your own, it would mean that you did the job in a well-organized, efficient manner, making good use of all resources at your disposal.
Management is like investment.
Managers have resources to invest - their time, talent and, possibly, human resources.
The goal (function) of management is to get the best return on such resources by getting things done efficiently.
This doesn't imply being mechanical or narrowly controlling as some writers on management suggest.
The manager's style is a personal or situational matter and it has evolved over time.
With highly skilled and self-motivated knowledge workers, the manager must be very empowering.
Where the workforce is less skilled or not very motivated, the manager may need to monitor output more closely.
Skilled managers know how flex their style, coach and motivate diverse employees. Getting things done through people is what they do.
By saying that management is a function, not a type of person or role, we can better account for self-managed work teams where no one is in charge. In a self-managed team, management is a group effort with no one being the designated manager.
