Managers balance projects, teams, and processes. They coordinate, strategize, plan, evaluate, and motivate.
Managers often oversee a budget and the activities of others to ensure that an organization’s goals and objectives are the focus of employee activities. Effective managers handle conflict, create good working environments for employees, and care for the human resources of an organization.
