“What’s the definition of management?” We asked this exact question in a recent management meeting and the resounding answer was… it was… we kept waiting… wow! No one answered. When we asked a group of managers this question, managers that have been in countless training sessions conducted by us, managers that have heard us say repeatedly the answer to this question, managers that have been asked many times to memorize this definition, from those managers, we heard no response to our question.
The definition of management is “the ability to turn individual talents into performance”.
As you begin the new year in your role as a manager be sure you know the definition of your role.
