Management is a universal concept. It is difficult term to define. It has variety of applications and
interpretations, all correct within a given set of parameters. Sometimes it is used to describe the
activities of executives and administrators of organization. Management involves the creation of an
environment in which people can most effectively use other resources to reach stated goals. It involves
the implementation of four basic functions: planning, organizing, leading and controlling. These
functions play a role in the operation of organization [2;4,5].
Planning is a heading step and can be highly specialized based on organizational goals, division goals,
department goals or team
Organizing is defined how manager distribute resources and organize work force according to the plan.
Leading is connecting with employees on interpersonal level. It can be simply communicating task,
motivating, inspiring and encouraging them towards a higher level Here we should make notice that not
every manager is a leader.
Controlling is final function of management. Once a plan has been carried out the manager evaluates the
results.
Leaders are those people whom everyone wants to follow. As James C.Humes said an American author
and former presidential speechwriter said: «One secret of leadership is that the mind of a leader never
turns off. Leaders even when they are sightseers and spectators, are active; not passive observers.»
According to this quote we understand that leaders can’t stand off, they have own point of view and as a
strategic thinker they can find the point of problem to solve it carefully. Leaders are that people who
always act and involved in all events. They always show their ability to help and develop personal
qualities lifelong. As we are teachers we thought that we are born to be leaders, because we lead our
students to learn and investigate new world of education. But in real situation it is far from it.
The activity of leading a group of people or an organization or the ability to do Leadership involves:
Sharing that vision with others so that they will follow willingly;
Coordinating and balancing the conflicting interests of all members and stake holders.
