A manager is any person who provides directional and operational inputs to several groups of people, and is held accountable for the quality and quantity of their collective output.
Managerial efficacy is the capacity to deliver the optimal output by synergizing between the effective achievement of tasks and the building of constructive relationships. Through the judicious use of all the available inputs, managers help the organization to deliver more with less.
Effective managers create empowered groups of employees, who take the initiative whenever a problem is noticed. Each colleague is actively engaged, and his or her strengths are deployed for the good of the entire work unit.
Managers maximize value-creation by deriving synergy between task achievement and personal fulfillment. Their core mandate is to harness the maximum output from the deployment of minimal resources.
