Management
Management is an art. It’s the process of figuring out how to allocate resources to get the work done, and stewarding those resources effectively.
Management is the place where plans and reality crash headlong into each other, where you make constant adjustments and re-adjustments to bring a vision to life.
Because we know that how you do your work is as important as the work you do, The Organizer explores all aspects of organizational management. From humans to technology, we ask and answer questions that affect organization everywhere.
