Innovation. Leadership. Coordinating. Planning. These are only four out of an infinite number of words that can describe not only management, but also a manager.

Daft et al (2010, p. 3, p. 5-6) argue that “the nature of management is to motivate and coordinate others to cope with diverse and far-reaching challenges”, thus creating an image of managers as “the executive function of the organization, responsible for building and coordinating an entire system, rather than
