Management is totally different than leadership. It is the creation of excellence in the execution of duties, systems, programs, and implementation of budgets.
Management is:
• Producing orderly results; promoting stability
• Development of a structure which will give organizational clarity, efficiency, and stability
• A clear set of tasks with staff accountable to perform those tasks
• A clear budget planning process
• A deductive process of setting targets and goals
