THE PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPTS OF MANAGEMENT THROUGH THE AGES

The process of managing a team involves the interaction of people where individuals contribute to the running or completion of a task. As in any State or country, under any government, people live together under various laws, rules, regulations, and religions. The people elect or they follow a leader, be it a democratic or tyrannical leadership. People under such regimes follow a type of management. In a business environment such methods of management prevail. A Manager will delegate and lead one or more individuals within the organization by running the business or a system. As in any government, the President or the Prime Minister will maintain the best possible methods for the running of the country and for improving the standards of living. A similar case prevails in the business world. Keeping your staff happy and motivated is an important part of leadership. Especially where a company is undergoing the technological change demanded by modern computing and the Information Technology systems involved.
