WHY MANAGERS EMERGE LATER IN LIFE

WHY MANAGERS EMERGE LATER IN LIFE

Management is a competence quite separate from professional ability or academic skill. These two can be facilitated by talent. And are spotted quite early in life. Management requires the gift of organization. Managers arrange things in order and organize to get things done. You can get administrators from school, but managers are made in organizations. Managers can go through school without recognition. However, they emerge in organizations when their gift is needed.  Managers are the backbone of any business. A business without managers will soon go out of business. A business with poor managers can survive a long time. It can be very effective. A business with good managers will excel. It will be extremely efficient. Yet leadership is far removed from all these.
