Managers _ the activities of the organization and the relаtions among them. They _ the work into distinct activities and then into individual jobs. They _ people to manage these activities and perform the jobs. They often need to make the people responsible for performing individual jobs _ effective teams.
Managers have to be good at communication and motivation. They need to _ the organization's objectives to the people responsible for attaining them. They have to motivate their staff to work well, to be productive, and to _ something to the organization. They make decisions about pay and promotion.
Managers also have to _ the performance of their staff, and to ensure that the objectives and performance targets set for the whole organization and for individual employees are reached. Furthermore, they have to trainand develop their staff, so that their performance continues to _.
