Management

            This involves the interconnecting of functions which includes the organization, creation of business policy, planning scheming as well as directing the organizations resources. This task of management in an organization aims at getting the best outcome from the resources in the business which involves even the human resource and ensuring that the results of this management are valuable. Management is concerned with the exploitation and manipulation of the financial, human, technological and the natural resources so as to attain the goal (Pillai 2011).

            Effective management involves the employment of a wide variety of skills where each of the skillfulness compliments the other. Therefore the core goal of every manager is to ensure that they develop and sustain all the various skills so as to enable the team of employees to meet their objectives and also to be effective and efficient (Pillai 2011).

            One of the core qualities of an effective manager is the ability to understand the way the employees and the entire team work so as to be able to create a good working relationship. This will enhance the team to be quick in performing and producing good results (Pillai 2011). A manager should also be able to strike a balance when choosing his/ her team of employees so as to ensure that different perspectives, abilities and personalities are well represented for efficient team performance.

            Motivation of the employees is another management skill that is important while managing a team. Managers who are able to motivate themselves and also their team end up giving the best results. As the managers get to know the personal lives of the employees, they are able to motivate them as well as get feedback from them.

            Good communication skills are also good qualities of a manager. This enhances the managers to keep their managers well informed and updated so as to ensure that they are able to perform efficiently in the business (Pillai 2011). This allows proper delegation of tasks to the employees within the organization and this enables the manager to see that the task is well done and at the right time.

            Favoritism is one of the bad qualities of any manager and it leads to failure of the management task. It is important for any manager to create a good relationship between the manager and the employees but when it comes to business a separation between individual friendship and the business.

            Indecisiveness is another bad quality of a manager where the manager fails to analyze and re-analyze situations in the business so as to predict the end result. They therefore regard every idea as good and implement it without weighing the advantages and disadvantages.

            A quality of a manager varies from one organization to another. This is because each organization has different objectives and policies; however the core qualities are similar all over the organizations. Some organizations have a different motivation program and thus this quality is not carried out by the manager in an extensive way but rather a selective way.

            According to the management quiz I agree with their results since management is rather not a one person success but the success of the team. This is essential as the manager is not only a manager but rather a leader and hence he should ensure that the task is done well (Paul 2013). Open minded working flexibility is important in the organization as it will ensure that an engaging environment is provided alongside ones co-workers.
