Effective
management requires tact, energy, and leadership. Harry
Truman said that, "Leadership is getting a man to do
what he doesn't want to do, and like it." Can leadership
be taught? Many think that it can.
Management
also requires an organization. A small family business may
grow into a very large company, but to be successful it must
function according to
an appropriate and effective structure.

The
chain of responsibility and authority is an important asset
in any company, large or small. When everyone does the right
thing, and takes responsibility for the outcome, the company
is working correctly - and this is essential to
profitability.
Underlying
it all is job definition, training, and work satisfaction.
If each person knows what to do, likes doing it, and is
comfortable with superiors and subordinates alike, that company
hums.
