CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION IN MANAGEMENT
Why Management?
Managers with strong leadership skills are constantly
in demand in all industries. Whether you manage a
small office, a large department, or even run your
own business, you will command a much larger
salary than the subordinates that you lead. If you
have strong interpersonal, communication, and
leadership skills, you have the potential of being a
successful manager.
What Does a Manager Do?
Simply put, managers plan, organize, lead, and control:
 Plan: Define goals, establish strategy, and coordinate activities among others.
 Organize: Determine what needs to be done, how it will be done, and who will do it.
 Lead: Direct and motivate all involved parties and resolve conflicts.
 Control: Monitor activities to ensure they’re being accomplished as planned.
