Definition of the word manager

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Manager is a person who manages or is in charge of something. Managers can control departments in companies, or guide the people who work for them. Managers must often make decisions about things.

According to Henri Fayol,[1] a French management theorist, managers must be able to do:

  1. planning
  2. organizing
  3. leading
  4. co-ordinating
  5. controlling

The manager is responsible for overseeing and leading the work of a group of people in many instances. The manager is also responsible for planning and maintaining work systems, procedures, and policies that enable and encourage the optimum performance of its people and other resources within a business unit.

Other definition given by Peter. F. Drucker, «every job should be designed as an integrated set of operations which are varied enough to reduce boredom. A manager must create a climate which brings in and maintain satisfaction and discipline among the people. »
