Management means a variety of things. Management is not only the management of people to accomplish goals, it is the management of budgets and processes and strategies. It is juggling and overseeing deadlines, and completing tasks, organizing, planning, staffing, and controlling operations. It is managing your brand and reminding staff to do the same, it is continuous learning, accomplishing marketing goals and remembering to use available resources, and it is being transparent.
