Management is the direction of an organization, be it a private organization, a government agency, or a non-profit organization. This management process includes the process of planning, organizing, staffing, leading, controlling, and evaluating the activities of the members of the organization. A manager’s task is to organize and direct the work of his employees. A manager’s ability to direct and manage the work of other employees depends largely on his skills, knowledge, and experience. However, one of the most important tasks of a manager is leading his team.

Leading. In a nutshell, leading is about making decisions in order to achieve specific aims or objectives of the organization. An effective manager takes charge of the affairs of his staff by taking into consideration their needs, interests, abilities, and potentials. It is not enough that a manager leads his staff because he himself is not an effective leader; rather, effective leaders are good managers because they know how to lead.

Middle Management. In the broadest sense, middle management is responsible for overseeing the activities of the senior management. Middle managers are usually elected or hired and take over the functions and responsibilities of their seniors. Their main role is to handle day-to-day tasks, such as decision making, problem solving, and planning.

Controlling. Managers also play an important role in organizing and controlling the work of their staff. They do this by setting the goals and objectives of the organization and making sure that these goals are properly and completely outlined and organized. They also make sure that the means and methods of accomplishing the set goals are set. Managers can organize, direct, and control the work force by effectively utilizing their knowledge, skills, and experience in the field.

Conducting an empirical study. Many managers are not familiar with the techniques and tools used in the field of organizational behavior and decision making. Because of this, it is not uncommon for them to engage in manual or interview-based research. This research is detrimental to establishing a sound framework in which to evaluate the organizational strengths and weaknesses and to design an effective solution for organizational problems.

The above mentioned are just two of the many examples of Managed Learning. There are many other areas and concepts that are related to Managed Learning. To cite a few, we would be remiss if we did not mention Discrete and Quantitative analysis, Learning theory, learning approaches, Theory building, problem solving, case studies, reinforcement, cultural psychology, human resources, knowledge construction, project management, project evaluation, quality management, and the knowledge network. The list of Managed Learning topics is quite extensive and may even go on to include training courses, workshops, seminars, and seminars that are directly related to these areas. In conclusion, the topic of management is so large that it is difficult to cite all of the different types and subtopics that it encompasses.
