You have recently been promoted to a position as supervisor in your current organisation/workplace and are undertaking research on your new role. Discuss the above statement and provide evidence on the assessment criteria below to back up some of your research.

Management is the act of engaging with an organization’s human talent and using the physical resources at a manager’s disposal to accomplish desired goals and objectives efficiently and effectively. Management comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading, directing, and controlling an organization (a group of one or more people or entities) or effort for the purpose of accomplishing a goal.

One of the most important duties for a manager is effectively using an organization’s resources. This duty involves deploying and manipulating human resources (or human capital), as well as efficiently allocating the organization’s financial, technological, and natural resources.

Since organizations can be viewed as systems, management can also be defined as human action, such as product design, that enables the system to produce useful outcomes. This view suggests that we must manage ourselves as a prerequisite to attempting to manage others.
