In this video, we explore the core responsibility of managers and define what great management truly entails. The speaker provides a clear, actionable definition of management and unpacks each part of it to guide us toward becoming more impactful leaders.
- We learn that the essence of management is to create a positive and sustainable change in the organization’s performance, a definition we are encouraged to internalize and apply.
- We embrace the idea that management is a creative, proactive discipline, not just a reactive one—our actions should be intentional and forward-looking.
- We are reminded that our impact must be positive and lasting, focusing on growing people and systems that perform well even in our absence.
- We are taught to focus on creating deltas, meaning our value lies in the improvement we drive, not in maintaining the status quo.
- We expand our view beyond just our teams, recognizing that great managers influence the broader organization, constantly looking for opportunities to elevate overall performance.
