People Are The Most Critical Element To Any Businesses Success - Invest In People; Invest In Training.

Managers need to motivate, retain and reward staff using effective and passionate communication and people skills. They must train and coach to optimize the performance of their staff and they need to define a strategy for their workplace and set meaningful goals and objectives. Managers must direct multi-generational workforces and deliver caring, effective leadership.

"We Should Be Seeing Managers As Leaders And Leadership As Management Practised Well"

"Management is a practice that depends on art, and that is learned by experience and rooted in context."

"For Mintzberg, community means caring about our work, our colleagues and our place in the world. 'The banks and other U.S. corporations were managed by egocentrics who ran companies into the ground. Human resources are downsized at the drop of a share price. What a monumental failure of management.'"

"We should be seeing managers as leaders and leadership as management practised well."

From The Toronto Star, September, 2009 - "Management Master Has World's Attention"
