I So Pray, My Lord

Abstract

Management and leadership skills are often used interchangeably as they both involve planning, decision-making, problem-solving, communication, delegation, and time management. Good managers are almost always good leaders as well. In addition to leading, a critical role of a manager is to also ensure that all parts of the organization are functioning cohesively. Without such integration, several issues can arise, and failure is bound to happen. Management skills are crucial for various positions and at different levels of a company, from top leadership to intermediate supervisors to first-level managers. While management is both an art and a science, it is a very wide and elusive subject, and no conclusive definition exists. Management can be defined as a process, an activity, or a profession.
