Food for the BRAIN

“I learned that the only way you are going to get
anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether
you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a
businessman (a manager), there is no getting
around it. If you do, you'll win—if you don't, you
won't.”

Introduction

A manager creates and maintains an
environment also called as an internal
environment or simply the organization, so that
others can work efficiently in it. A manager's job
consists of planning, organizing, directing, and
controlling the resources of the organization. These
resources include people, jobs or positions, technology,
facilities and equipment, materials and supplies,
information, and money. Managers work in a dynamic
environment and must anticipate and adapt to
challenges.
