What comes to mind when you see the word management? Consider a manager you know. What does she do? What makes him a manager? Perhaps we have different ideas about what management means, what managers do, and who does management work.
This book defines
management as “the process of getting things done through and with people”. Always remember that management involves people—usually lots of them! Managers can work at all levels of an organization.
People who perform management work (for much or all of their job) might have job titles such as manager, executive, administrator, supervisor, coordinator, or lead. However, people who only occasionally perform management work might also have job titles that imply they are managers.
To determine whether someone really is a manager, we should consider how much of the work described in this chapter that person does.

Management began to develop as a body of knowledge more than a century ago with the
scientific management work of Frederick W. Taylor. He told factory managers they could increase productivity and output not by finding bigger, stronger workers to shovel coal and lift iron but instead by designing the workers’ repetitive work for ease and efficiency. He analyzed factory workers’ physical motions, postures, steps, actions, task completion times, and production.
Based on the analysis, Taylor made changes that led to large improvements. For example, standing or sitting a certain way could help someone work with less strain on the body, similar to practicing good posture when working at a computer workstation today. Taylor also designed tools that enabled laborers to work with less effort yet accomplish more. (Does this remind you of the saying “Work smarter, not harder”?) Taylor developed detailed instructions, methods, rules, techniques, training, and time allowanc
