Management

Management.
What does that word mean to you? To manage. According to webster it is like "to act of supervising something.". Generally speaking this can be divided to "matter management", which can be thought of like managing the service as ownership level and being responsible on it, then other part is people management, meaning handling tables for the people doing the actual work.
somehow this is the most difficult part of mgmt.
People in mgmt positions think as per their position they know more than the persons "below" them. Why it is so? is it due to old thinking of when baron was looking over the employees in factory? or what? in ideal place the people manager shines through his/her people. But still it seems so hard to this manager to understand that the role is only about creating situations where the subordinates can do the actual content work. In this case people manager gets appraisal of having such people on his/her team.
Still, the components for effective people management are so simple, yet not used. What causes people in manager position to dismiss subordinate being better than the manager? Is it something the society has grown up, or something related to self-growth? Let me know your thoughts.
