Texila Knowledge Talk Series – Management through Modern Tools and Techniques

Management is the art of getting things done through people.”. – Mary Parker Follett

Management is the act of getting people together to achieve desired goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively. For effective management, leaders need to have the vision, competence, skills and knowledge to inspire and lead.

Today, leaders need to teach and guide. Leadership and management is no longer the work of a single individual but the performance of a team.
