Abstract
Management is the art of utilizing all available resources to accomplish a given set of tasks in a timely and economical manner. A complete job description for a manager would include diplomacy, coercion, politics, psychology, budgeting, evaluation and a host of other attributes. Each individual manager evolves a personal style within an organizational culture. No two positions or individuals are ever exactly alike. The successful manager must be able to allocate resources and motivate subordinates to accomplish goals often imposed from external sources (i.e., upper management). The successful manager may retain previously acquired technical skills; frequently these are lost, being replaced by new knowledge. The successful manager is one who understands the local organizational milieu. The theories discussed above are only guidelines. Just as each patient is approached differently, so too are different managerial positions.
